What a homecoming 
for him. 

Burl’s just returned to the 
Columbia label and he’s already 
recorded a sure hit. 

You know it has to be, 
because it’s got that perfect 
combination: a great Dylan lyric 
\ ■ and an incomparable Burl Ives 

rendition.

The United States is a music festival 
this summer. Virtually no form of musi- 
cal expression mW be left untouched as 
tennis stadiums, concert areas, parks 
and so forth play host to either single 
musical events or a series of vvarm- 
vYeather, sun or moonlit presentations. 

It will be difficult to find an act which 
participates in jazz, folk, rock or classi- 
cal offerings that does not have an 
affiliation with a disk company. At this 
time of dramatic, “live” appearances by 
many of the leading disk-oriented at- 
tractions, we hope that labels are think- 
ing not only about these acts “sell- 
themselves-onstage,” but also about 
the helping-hand that can be employed 
to boost post-concert record sales. 

What this essentially requires is a 
localized promotional outlook. Artists’ 
itineraries must be closely followed so 
that some advance work — even if it’s 
just a few days before their arrivals — 
can be done. For one thing, major retail 
outlets should be checked to determine 
if they have sufficient (if any) stock on 
hand that features the performers in 
question. It should also be determined 
if the place where the performance is 
being held will allow the placement of 
posters or the distribution of handbills. 
Radio stations should be called on the 


possibility that an artist could make an 
interesting interviewee on a musical or 
“talk” show. And, of course, the familiar 
round of promo contacts with local 
newspapers could lead to readable 
human-interest copy, either in lieu of 
or in support of ad placements. 

A lot of this undertaking, naturally, 
falls into the hands of the local distrib- 
utor. But, it is essential that the local 
distribs feel that the labels involved 
are vitally interested in making a strong 
promotional go of an artist’s in-person 
date. The incentive for going-all-out to 
promote a personal-appearance largely 
rests on: 1) the effectiveness of the ar- 
tist; 2) the willingness of his label to 
reach into each locality and make the 
most of each and every appearance he 
makes; 3) and, of course, complete ar- 
tist cooperation. 

The music industry is, fortunately, in 
an age when disk acts are by and large 
immensely dramatic and fulfilling on- 
stage. This stage presence should act 
as a great stimulant to interest in their 
disk work. The summer music festivals 
on hand are an opportunity to transfer 
talent-on-stage to even greater success 
on records. This is all up to record com- 
panies — and everyone who wishes an 
act a healthier, wealthier career.

\,5how Business Mourns Denth Of Senutor Kennedy 


, NEW YORK — Show business faced its 
^ second blackout in two months as the 
nation paid tribute to Senator Robert 
I ** F. Kennedy, slain in Los Angeles last 
‘ week by an assassin’s bullets. The 
^ murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, 
Jr. in Memphis last April produced a 
similar response. 

From the moment the announcement 
; that the tragedy had taken place, 
radio and TV stations directed their 
attentions to coverage of the event, 
thus eliminating a good deal of regu- 
lar programming schedules, including 
'' ► musical shows. As the Senator lay 

B unconscious in Good Samaritan Hospi- 
” tal, there was some return to normal 
programming — even if some Top 40 
outlets greatly softened their sounds. 
J Word of the Senator’s death Thurs- 
^ day morning was expected to cancel- 
out any number of show business- 
associated events in addition to ex- 
'■ pected broadcast tributes. Since Sun- 
day had been proclaimed a national 
'* day of mourning by President John- 
son, the Ed Sullivan TV show said 
that it would cancel all comedy and 
pop music acts. The show had origin- 
^ ally scheduled the debut of the new 
Buddah Records act, the “Kasenetz- 
, Katz Singing Orchestral Circus.” 
* Their appearance will be rescheduled. 

Label Receptions Called Ofif 

The record business’ quickest re- 
sponse — both to the shooting and 
eventual death of Senator Kennedy — 
y was to cancel a spate of press recep- 
tions. MGM in New York called off two 
events, one for Kim Weston on Wed- 


nesday evening and another for a new 
male artist the following day. United 
Artists Records also noted the tragedy 
by cancelling a bash for Gordon Light- 
foot. 

A number of labels in New York 
had plans to close their offices on Fri- 
day, designated an official day of 
mourning for the city by Mayor John 
Lindsay. 

While the release of Senator Ken- 
nedy memorial albums and singles 
could be expected there were no re- 
ports at presstime from any labels as 
to their plans. The death of Dr. King 
was followed by various recorded trib- 
utes, with all or a portion of the royal- 
ties earmarked for Dr. King’s South- 
ern Christian Leadership Conference. 

Senator Kennedy’s fame and dis- 
tinctive Bostonian manner of speech, 
had been the source of comedy record- 
ings, the most successful of which was 
“Wild Thing” by Senator Bobby on the 
Cameo label. This recording, like 
others that followed, employed a 
mimic. The “First Family” album, re- 
leased a year before the death of 
President Kennedy, was a laT-set 
credited with sales of more than 5 
million copies. 

Artists Supported Him 

Senator Kennedy’s drive to achieve 
the nomination of the Democratic 
Party for President was supported by 
a number of show business figures, in- 
cluding many from the world of rec- 
ords. According to the May 31, issue 
of Time Magazine his supporters in- 
cluded Bill Cosby, Bobby Darin, Sam- 


my Davis, Peter Duchin, Patty Duke, 
Eddie Fisher, Aretha Franklin, Lesley 
Gore, Mahalia Jackson, Jefferson Air- 
plane, Alan Jay Lerner, Trini Lopez, 
Rod McKuen, Henry Mancini, Andre 
Previn, Diana Ross & the Supremes, 
Rowan & Martin, Sonny & Cher, Bar- 
bra Streisand and Andy Williams. 

JFK Recalled 

The latest trap-edy to befell the Ken- 
nedy family elicited recollections about 
the murder of President John F. Ken- 
nedy on Nov. 22, 1963. Roger Williams, 
the Kapp pianist who visited the offices 
of Cash Box last week, recalled that 
he was told that the last music Presi- 
dent Kennedy heard was selections 
from his LP, “Yellow Bird.” This took 
place in the President’s hotel room in 
Ft. Worth. Texas as he was shaving. 
The President, of course, would em- 
bark on his fateful trip to Dallas a few 
hours later. A check of the hotel room 
after Kennedy was shot showed that 
the phonograph needle was still posi- 
tioned on the grooves of the LP. Wil- 
liams said he decided then to donate 
all royalties from the sale of the LP 
to the Kennedy Memorial Library in 
Cambridge, Mass. He also indicated 
that the album and phono might be 
placed on exhibit in the library. 

It is yet to be determined what were 
the last sounds of music heard by 
Senator Kennedy before he stepped 
through the hallway of a kitchen in 
the Ambassador Hotel — following a 
California primary victory message — 
and fell at the hand of an assassin.

Disk Museum Spins 

LAWTON OKLAHOMA — An ex-pro- 
fessional musician has established a 
“Record Museum” at which he is the 
curator for the 78rpm era. 

A longtime collector of 78’s, Whit 
Ozier started the museum two years 
ago on a non-profit basis. Since then, 
he has had donated to the museum 
22,000 records and players of all kinds 
that date from 1895 to the present. 

Public Use Planned 

“We are hoping to be able to fur- 
nish almost any original selection to 
the public someday and tape duplicate 
for deejays or special radio and TV 
shows, perhaps even furnish out of 
our original duplicates records to fill 
out collections being accumulated by 
other collectors,” Ozier explains. 

Ozier, who has built a building to 
house his collection, says he uses dup- 
licates to trade for copies of records 
he doesn’t have, or use the money 
earned from selling duplicates to add 
shelving, green stock envelopes and, 
hopefully, a good system for reproduc- 
tion. At present, the museum has no 
way of playing big Standard Library 
Transcriptions and is seeking a 16 
inch turntable like those used at radio 
stations. 

Ops, Dealers Help 

Many of his records came from 
juke box operators and dealers, some 
from radio stations clearing out oldies 
and others from private individual 


NEW YORK — Columbia Records has 
what may well be a record-breaking 
total of 22 LP’s riding on Cash Box’s 
chart of best-selling albums. The Cash 
Box chart contains a listing of both 
the Top 100 albums and 40 additional 
albums just under the Top 100. Colum- 
bia’s showing does not include product 
from the Epic label, a part of the 
CBS label family, but not distributed 
by Columbia Records. 

Clive Davis, president of CBS Rec- 
ords, commented on the impressive 
showing by stating, “I am very grati- 
fied to learn of the Cash Box chart 
record just set by Columbia. Although 
the degree of penetration by Columbia 
on Cash Box’s chart is unique, the 
most significant fact is the diversifi- 
cation of product represented in the 
listing. Columbia’s contemporary and 
underground rock groups are repre-

collections. In addition to recorded ma- 
terial, Ozier says he will accept sheet 
music, record catalogs, advertising, 
plaster trademarks such as the Pathe 
Rooster or Victor dog, photos, etc. An 
index file is now in preparation accord- 
ing to label name. 

Ozier is also seeking a 78rpm juke 
box, a floor model that plays 20 or 24 
selections. 


Ozier’s address is 701 Arlington, 
Lawton, Oklahoma 73501.

chart, along with the label’s leading- 
artists in the populai'-music field.” 

S&G Other Gold Acts 

Simon and Garfunkel, Columbia’s 
sensational folk-rock team, is repre- 
sented by all five of the LP’s they 
ever z-ecorded, including the four Gold 
Record winners “Bookends,” in the 
No. 1 position; “The Graduate,” chart- 
ed as No. 3; “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary 
and Thyme,” in the No. 6 slot; and 
“Sounds of Silence,” listed as No. 25. 
Simon and Garfunkel’s first album 
for Columbia, entitled “Wednesday 
Morning, 3 a.m.” is making its second 
appearance as a nation-wide best 
seller three years after its initial 
release.

Diversified LP Chart Splurge For Col. 


ROBERT F. KENNEDY 
1925-1968 

The aftermath of a new trag- 
edy — the assassination of Sena- 
tor Robert F. Kennedy — has had 
a pattern tragically familiar to 
the world. The disbelief upon 
hearing that the assassin’s hand 
had struck, the agonizing period 
of waiting in a life-or-death sit- 
uation, the words of consolation, 
the appraisal of the tragedy’s 
meaning, the expressions of hope 
that a “lesson” could be learned 
in an attempt to reinforce the 
philosophy of some that “good 
can come out of evil.” 

But, after all is said and done, 
a young and brilliant public fig- 
ure is gone. In an age when the 
youth of the world often find 
little comfort in the words or 
deeds of their elders. Senator 
Kennedy — like his martyred 
brother. President John F. Ken- 
nedy, before him — was among 
the small coterie of “elders” 
who could relate to youth. In 
an age when poverty and social 
inequality continue to be the 
shame of supposedly enlightened 
and prosperous societies. Sena- 
tor Kennedy had special mean- 
ing not only to the concerned, but 
more importantly to the victims 
of economic and social injustice. 

The Kennedy brothers. Dr. 
Martin Luther King, himself 
felled by an assassin two months 
ago, were leaders that our nation 
and the world desperately need- 
ed. Now they are gone, and it’s 
up to other men of goodwill to 
continue the struggle against the 
evils that their ill-fated counter- 
parts died for. 


ASCAP Creates An 
Associate Membership 

NEW YORK — ASCAP’s membership 
voted last week to pass the proposed 
amendment to the society’s articles of 
association, to create associate mem- 
berships. The writer-members of 
ASCAP voted 84.14% in favor of pas- 
sage of this amendment, while the 
publishers voted 91.96% in favor. 

The amendment, proposed by Dr. 
John Vincent, had been unanimously 
recommended by the writers advisory 
committee, and was unanimously ap- 
proved by the Society’s Board of 
Directors. 

The purpose of the amendment is to 
create a new class of associate writer- 
members, to enable writers who have 
not yet had a work published or rec- 
orded to be elected to associate mem- 
bership in ASCAP. The -wi-iters affec- 
ted would include those now experi- 
menting in new fields, such as elec- 
tronic, computer and “think” music, 
and any other writers whose composi- 
tions have not yet been regularly 
published or recorded. 

These associate members will not 
pay any dues. They will be advanced 
to participating membership as soon 
as any of their works are performed 
by the society’s licensees, or regularly 
published or commercially recorded. 

ASCAP president Stanley Adams, 
in commenting on the amendment, 
said: “The passage of this amendment 
to elect Associate Members is an im- 
portant step for the Society. It opens 
the way to membership in ASCAP 
for those young people whose creative 
talents are not yet recognized by com- 
mercial interests.” 

The committee on elections includes 
Carolyn Leigh, Fred E. Ahlert, Jr., 
Harold Arlen, Franco Colombo, Milton 
Kramer, Gerald Marks, Johnny Mer- 
cer, Vincent Persichetti, with Mitchell 
Parish, chairman.

Here Comes Pigmeat Markham Rs 
^Skii Pays OH For Vet Comedian 




NEW YORK — His 40-year-old routine 
has opened up a new career for come- 
^^dian Pigmeat Markham. 

In 1927, the 64-year-old Negro com- 
ic originated the Trial — Here Come 
the Judge, a staple in his repertoire. 
The skit, of course, has reached na- 
tional prominence, thanks to its use 
on the Rowan & Martin Laugh-In on 
"i TV and on disks. 

Now, Markham himself is employ- 
» ing the routine to expand his own ca- 
reer. Firstly, Chess Records has a 
Here Come the Judge single by the 
performer, which is also included in an 
,f,LP with the same title. One side of the 
single is a narrative version of the 


original skit, while the flip is a sing- 
ing variation. Latter moves onto the 
charts in the number 87 spot this week. 

With Chess reporting action on the 
disk, Markham is set for a 50-day 
tour with such standout acts as Joe 
Tex, Percy Sledge, the Delfonics and 
the Intruders. And to top off the icing 
on his freshly baked cake, Markham 
has been earmarked for 18-appear- 
ances on next season’s Laugh-In 
series. He will also appear on the 
Johnny Carson Tonight Show. 

This new-won fame follows more 
than 50 years of making people laugh 
with his comic artistry.

“Speedway,” a romantic comedy, was 
filmed at North Carolina’s famed 
Charlotte Speedway. 


NEW YORK — An agreement has been 
concluded between Buddah Records 
and the hit R&B group, the Impres- 
sions, whereby Buddah will distribute 
the Impressions’ new Curtom label. 

Neil Bogart Buddah’s general man- 
ager, made the announcement Satur- 
day afternoon at the Buddah conven- 
tion, held June 7-9 at the City Squire 
Motor Inn in New York. The agree- 
ment was completed between Eddie 
Thomas, president of Curtom, Inc., and 
Art Kass, executive vice president

All Right,” “I’m So Proud,” “Amen,” 
“Woman’s Got Soul” and many others.

Julie Driscoll En Route Over Atlantic 


NEW YORK — One of the most widely 
acclaimed British newcomer acts to 
spring into the sales picture in recent 
months is about to have its first re- 
lease in the UjS. Julie Driscoll, Brian 
Auger & the Trinity have become 
aligned with Atlantic Records for the 
transoceanic issue of their current 
England-France top ten single “This 
Wheel’s On Fire.” 

At about the same time that the 
single will be released here. Vogue 
Magazine is to carry a story about 
“Jools” Driscoll who was formerly 
working in the fashion modeling field. 
The spread will include photos by 
Richard Avedon, who is noted for the 
Beatles posters made from pictures 
taken for another magazine story. 

Miss Driscoll has already received 
wide press coverage in Europe where 
she appeared in a number of pop festi- 
vals including appearances in Czecho- 
slovakia, Brussels, Rome, Paris and 
Montreaux. She has been offered an 
appearance date bid already by Bill 
Graham of the Fillmore Auditorium 
and other spots in America. 



HE AMES TO STAY — Norman Racusin, division vice president and general 
manager of RCA Records, points to the dotted line whereon Ed Ames has just 
affixed his signature renewing his long-term stay at the label. Watching, on the 
left, is pop A&R producer Jim Fogelsong. Ames, currently on the sales scene 
with his “Apologize” single and “Who Will Answer” LP, is one of the com- 
pany’s mainstays. Last year he came up with “My Cup Runneth Over,” “Time, 
Time,” “When the Snow Is On The Roses” and “Who Will Answer” to keep him 
on the singles lists, and earned a gold record from RIAA. In addition to his 
recording career, Ames has appeared in the musical theater, played dramatic 
roles and done regular television work in a weekly role with the “Daniel Boone” 
series. He recently completed a week-long engagement at the Westbury Music 
Fair on Long Island and has an itinerary that will cover Salt Lake City, 
Harrah’s Club in Reno, the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. and the Riviera Hotel in 
Las Vegas through August. 


The song that has projected Julie 
Driscoll, Brian Auger & the Trinity to 
success is a Bob Dylan composition. 

“Jools,” as she is called in France, 
became interested in singing eight 
years ago, cut her first record five 
years back, and later met and teamed 
with Auger and his group.

best of which will be turned over to

Sinatra Wins 
Ampex Award 

PARK RIDGE, ILL.— The 1968 winner 
of the annual Ampex “Artistry In 
Sound” award is Frank Sinatra, who 
records for Reprise Records. The an- 
nouncement was made by Don V. Hall, 
vice president of the Ampex consumer 
and educational products division. 

The Ampex “Artistry In Sound” 
award is presented annually to per- 
formers who have made outstanding 
contributions in the field of recorded 
sound. 

This year’s award is a “shape.” It 
consists of two spheres, one within the 
other, rotating in opposite directions. 
The inner sphere has three oil-on- 
metal portraits depicting Sinatra the 
actor, the singer and the man. The 
outer sphere, symbolic of the world, is 
handbuffed on the inside to reflect the 
portraits as the spheres move. The 
award was designed by sculptor Felipe 
Fabregat to depict Sinatra’s timeless 
style. 

Sinatra is the third winner. Others 
were Mantovani and Herb Alpert and 
the Tijuana Brass. Each year the 
award is designed to match the indi- 
vidual and his achievements in the 
musical world.

CashBox Record Roviews 



Picks ot the Week ) 

4 SEASONS (Philips 40542) 

Saturday’s Father (3:14) [Gavadima, Genius, ASCAP-Gaudio, Holmes] 

Drastic shift in theme material for the team on this new offering. The 4 
Seasons deliver one of their most creative sides on “Saturday’s Father,’’ a 
poignant view of the once-a-week visiting father. Production techniques, 
the splendid vocal working of the group, and outstanding material creates 
a shattering session from the hitmakers. Flip: “Good-Bye Girl” (3:14) 
[Saturday, Seasons Four, BMI-Crewe, Gaudio] 

ARTHUR CONLEY (Atco 6588) 

People Sure Act Funny (2:10) [Bob-Dan, BMI — Turner, McDougal] 

Rapid-fire rhythmics and a solid vocal workout bring Arthur Conley into a 
Sam & Dave bag on his snappy new side. Artist follows his top 20 showing on 
“Funky Street” with another explosive track that should break wide open on 
both pop and blues fronts. Heavy sales action can be expected to put the 
track high in the best seller running. Flip: “Burning Fire” (2:20) [Redwal, 
Time, BMI — Conley, Dowd] 

DONOVAN (Epic 10345^ 

Hurdy Gurdy Man (3:15) [Peer Int’l, BMI-Leitch] 

Another new phase in the development of Donovan begins with this new 
effort, “Hurdie Gurdie Man.” Lyric presents a transcendental love & word 
play message, but the musical backing has shifted from the small jazz 
combo style of “Wear Your Love Like Heaven” and “Jennifer Juniper” to an 
easy folk -f electric rock & sitar blend. Already breaking, the side should 
be a big one. Flip: “Teen Angel” (2:16) [Same credits.] 


ROYAL GUARDSMEN (Laurie 3451) 

Snoopy for President (2:49) [Roznique, BMI-Holler, Schapiro, Gernhard] 

Back once more to the Peanuts mystique, the Royal Guardsmen revive 
their rock-march romp rhythm with a timely application of election cam- 
paign theme and the current “Snoopy for President” movement in a novelty 
dance track that should hit the sales impact of their three previous snoopy 
ventures. Bouncing beat and cute commentary add up to breakout power. 
Flip: “Down Behind the Lines” (3:27) [Roznique, BMI — Holler] 

PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS (Columbia 44553) 

Don’t Take It So Hard (2:27) [Boom, BMI — Lindsay] 

Bright bouncing rhythmics and a teen-tailored lyric give Paul Revere and 
the Raiders their most commercial single in some time. Belting dance flavor 
is boomed out with hand-clap and hard drum backdrop. Good crisp vocals 
soften for a pleasant pause in the action. Side is a flashy one aimed to hit 
top forty. Flip: “Observation from Flight 285” (2:48) [same credits] 

BILLY VERA (Atlantic 2526) 

With Pen in Hand (3:32) [Unart, BMI — Goldsboro] 

“Honey” has renewed interest in Bobby Goldsboro as an artist, and “With 
Pen in Hand” has started to kindle attention for his songwriter talent. Al- 
ready a country single with pop repercussions, the tenderly tearful song is 
headed for a big reception in this reading set for top forty and middle-of-the 
road audiences by the male half of the “Storybook Children” team. Flip: 
“Good Morning Blues” (2:57) [Blackwood, BMI — Vera] 


BLUE CHEER (Philips 40541) 

Just a Little Bit (3:24) [Blue Cheer, BMI-Peterson] 

Voluminous, vigorous vitality in tune with the fiery psychedelia of the 
discotheque scene brings the Blue Cheer back for another shot at the 
breakout furor that greeted their premiere “Summertime Blues” disk. 
Dynamic drive that creates an enveloping sound pours out this blasting 
side with hit power. Flip: “Gypsy Ball” (2:57) [Blue Cheer, BMI-Stevens, 
Peterson] 


LULU (Epic 10346) 

Boy (2:30) [Peer Int’l, BMI-Stephens, Blaikley] 

Sticking with the antic-rock sound of “Me, the Peaceful Heart,” Lulu 
bounds back for a solid shot at the breakout department. Her vocals have 
more of the gliding quality that clicked on “To Sir with Love,” and could 
turn the trick in setting sales in motion for the teen rock outing. Fine dance 
side with the potential to bring in another winning showing. Flip: “Sad 
Memories” (2:05) [Maluma, BMI-London] 


CHER (Imperial 66307) 

Take Me For a Little While (2:40) [Lollipop, BMI-Martin] 

Fine lyric that comes up tailor made for the teen deck fans brings Cher 
back for a strong run at the best seller lists. Track is a medium-slow 
workout with strong arrangements that spotlight a good blues-organ backup 
and the rhythmic appeal of the song. Outstanding production of some very 
fine material makes the side a potential smash. [No flip info available.] 

LETTERMEN (Capitol 2218) 

Where Were You When The Lights Went Out (1:33) [Hastings, BMI-Grusin, 
Gordon] 

Pretty material from the new movie “Where Were You When the Lights 
Went Out” poses a problem to the current Lettermen single “All The Grey 
Haired Men.” This lovely melodic piece could steal the spotlight with 
extra impact given by the film opening. Flip: “Love Is Blue/Greensleeves” 
(2:15) [Croma/P.D., ASCAP-Blackburn, Cour, Popp] Medley beautifully done 
with exceptional easy listening potential. 


SOLOMON BURKE (Atlantic 2527) 

Save It (2:12) [Jec, BMI-Bryant] 

Breaking out of his slow string of releases, Solomon Burke moves into 
high gear on a socking side that adds dance drive to his already solid 
personal fan appeal. Plenty of pressure in the delivery gives the artist an 
excellent prospect for r&b market acceptance and a possibly sizeable spill- 
over into the pop sales show. Flip: “Met Me in the Church” (3:33) [Tree, 
BMI-Tex] 


Q Picks oi the Week ^ 

FATS DOMINO (Reprise 0696) 

Honest Papas Love Their Mamas Better (2:27) [Sweet Magnolia, BMI-Zompa, 
DeCaesar] 

Clear fresh breeze from the rock archives, this reincarnation of Fats 
Domino brings the artist back with the flair and vigor that helped establish 
the sound of rock. Belting rhythmics and the combination of Domino’s 
unique vocal-piano style sparkle once more for a sensational side that should 
become a moving sales item with r&b and pop fans. Flip: “One for the High- 
way” (2:30) [Don Hall, Tamerlane, BMl-Domino] 


PARLIAMENTS (Revilot 223) 

Good Old Music (2:50) [Lebaron, BMI-Clinton, Funkadelics] 

Change of pace outing for the Parliaments retains the chord structure and 
appeal of their “Testify” smash, but eases up on the pace for a funky side 
with super-fine hit magnetism. Slow soul dance effort that should bring the 
team high into the r&b sales standing with an excellent shot at pop break- 
out on the followthrough. Flip: “Time” (2:40) [Lebaron, BMI-Clinton, Lewis] 


PHIL FLOWERS (Dot 17113) 

The Alligator (2:59) [Shifting Flowers, BMI-Flowers, McCoy] 

Rising blues reputation of Phil Flowers should get a hefty boost from this 
wild outing that brings the artist-writer up with a new dance that features 
some strenuous work, change-of-pace tempo and a cute sound effect appli- 
cation to drum up a bright reception. Deck has the power to crack r&b and 
pop sales fronts. Flip: “The Judge & the Alligator” (1:57) [Same pub, BMI- 
Flowers, Shifrin] 


LITTLE MILTON (Checker 1203) 

At the Dark End of the Street (2:59) [Press, BMI-Penn, Morman] 

Exceptional workout from Little Milton on a fine slow ballad gives the 
side a strong prospect of breaking out through the r&b grapevine into a size- 
able pop hit as well. Track’s lamenting tale of secret-meeting lovers is en- 
hanced by some very fine arrangements, and the closing build puts a final 
thrust to the effort. Flip: “I Who Have Nothing” (2:36) [Milky Way, Trio, Cotil- 
lion, BMI-Mogol, Donida, Leiber, Stoller] 

MOBY GR^ (Columbia 4456^ ~ ~~ 

Can’t Be So Bad (3:22) [Gemini, BMI-Miller] 

Belting percussion and rhythmic ranting in a loose blues style treated 
to the updating influence of psychedelic groupwork mark the first single 
in some time from the LP hitsters, Moby Grape. Team has had decks click 
before, and the fan following already aware of the crew will combine with 
new admirers to make this a breakout side. Flip: “Bitter Wind” (2:42) 
[Gemini, BMI-Mosley] 


WILDWEEDS (Cadet Concept 7004) 

I’m Dreaming (2:40) [Trod Nossel, BMI-Anderson] 

Acting under the influence of the Small Faces sound, the Wildweeds 
come back with another power-packed single that should shake up a lot 
of listening action along the top 40 route. Team’s scintillating orchestral 
end and a bright vocal performance from both lead and group singers 
give the side enough explosive impact to score with best seller sales. 
Flip: “Happiness is Just an Illusion” (2:25) [Linesider, BMI-Anderson] 


BARRY MANN (Capitol 2217) 

I Just Can’t Help Believin’ (2:50) [Screen Gems, Columbia, BMI-Mann, Weil] 
Very pretty ballad that features the flowing gentleness of “Suzanne” and 
Glen Campbell pop-folk liquidity to weave an attractive spell that can be 
expected to entrance many pop and middle-of-the-road disk jockies. 
Peaceful song in a glowing performance that is likely to reach breakout 
proportions bringing an artist reputation to the established songwriter. 
Flip: “Where Do I Go From Here” (3:23) [Same credits.] 

VAN & TITUS (Elf 90016) 

Cry Baby Cry (3:10) [Sons of Ginza, BMI-Cason, Gayden] 

Outstanding side with an easy-going pace and some very fine vocal 
work from Van & Titus. Team had a near hit last time out, and should 
get the action to explode on r&b and pop scenes with this new effort. 
Crisp duo chanting and a hefty orchestral underline sets the stage for 
deejay and listener response. A little work should make this one a best 
seller. Flip: “The Vulture” (2:40) [Mesquite, ASCAP-Hampton, Whitson] 

WAYNE NEWTON (MGM 13955) ~~ 

Dreams of the Everyday Housewife (3:03) [Combine, BM 1-Gantry] 

Making use of his appeal to the young adult and older feminine fans, 
Wayne Newton should win a tremendous exposure and sales approval with 
this attractive rendering of the Chris Gantry tune “Dreams of the Everyday 
Housewife.” Fine melodic appeal and lyrical content masterfully handled 
should make the side a big one. Flip: “The Tip of My Fingers” (2:41) 
[Tree, BMI-Anderson] 


JERRY VALE (Columbia 44572) 

With Pen In Hand (3:17) [Unart, BMI-Goldsboro] 

Third single of this powerful song has stiff competition for top 40 
market action, but guarantes success by aiming dead center at the adult, 
easy listening audience for reception. As always, the Jerry Vale vocal 
presents excellent fare, and his emotional delivery of the tender track 
makes it a standout for soft-sound stations and one-stop servicing 
adult jukebox locations. Flip: “The Look of Love” (3:25) [Colgems, ASCAP- 
Bacharach, David] 


STEVE ALAIMO (Atco 6589) 

My Friend (2:58) [Press, BMI — Fritts, Oldham] 

Recent regional success for “Denver” has brought new interest to Steve 
Alaimo in several areas across the country, setting the stage for a bright 
showing with this sentimental track. Love story of a girl grown-up is excel- 
lently phrased and performed with a string backdrop that could bring the 
pop middle-of-the-road outlets on the songster’s bandwagon. Has a very 
strong shot at better than sleeper reaction. Flip “1 x’s 1 Ain’t 22” (2:11) 
[Acuff-Rose, Bmi — Newbury]

Newcomer Picks 

ILLINOIS SPEED PRESS (Columbia 44564) 

Get in the Wind (Vocal) (2:55) [Aphrodite, BMI — Cotton] 

Riding a hurricane of sound, the Illinois Speed Express fills its sails with 
a drive that should have them blazing up the best seller lists with particular 
impact in shows programming “underground” music. Psyche-blues with a 
throbbing beat for above-ground teen fans; fine lyrics and a standout group 
performance make this side a powerhouse effort with winner-circle prospect. 
Flip: “Get in the Wind (Instrumental)” (2:55) [Same credits] 

PICARDY (Dunhill 4140) 

5:30 Plane (2:55) [Canopy, ASCAP-Webb] 

Lyrical coasting of a Fifth Dimension outing broadens with use of harmon- 
ies much like the Mamas & Papas or the Association to give this new team a 
sound not really new but certainly solidly steeped in sales impact. Mix well 
with a bright-etherial composition from Jim Webb and you’ve got “5:30 
Plane” for a flight whose destination is set for the pop charts. Flip: “In the 
Name of You” (1:59) [Canopy, ASCAP-Merriam] 


GLORIA LORING (MGM 13942) 

Chelsea Morning (3:00) [Gandalf, BMI-Mitchell] 

Spotlighted with Aretha Franklin on the recent television special, Gloria 
Lcring should find a big welcome in store for this powerful ballad with a 
bounce. Lyrical brii iance is matched by a fine vocal and some dance-aimed 
instrumental backing. Teen exposure is built-in, and the lid is smooth 
enough to stir response from middle-of-the-road stations boosting sales to 
strong action. Flip: [No info available.] 

AMAZERS (Thomas 1638) 

It’s You for Me (3:10) [Camad, BMI-Crayton] 

Already eliciting responses in several r&b markets, this stylish side 
could break wide open for the Amazers on a national level. Terrific teen 
harmonies delivered with a bubbling instrumental interweave the power of a 
dance motion with some emotional impact that could spillover into pop 
marketplaces. Might happen in a very big way. Flip: “Without a Warning” 
(1:40) [Camad, BMI-Brown] 

SILVER APPLES (Kapp 923) 

Oscillations (2:47) [Magic Theatre Partnership, BMI — ^Warren, Taylor, Simeon] 
Inventive application of electronic music to a rock theme with an acute 
blend of avant garde instrumental work and primitive percussion take this 
work from the Silver Apples a step or three beyond the work of Country Joe 
& the Fish. Verbal picture tuned to the music and a Gertrude Stein-like 
repetition-alchemy delivers a work of contemporary impact that should 
come up for excessive “underground” programming. Flip: “Whirly-Bird” (2:39) 
[Same credits] 



Q Best Bets 

CLASSICS IV (Imperial 66304) 
Mama’s & Papa’s (2:06) [Low-Sal, 
BMI-Buie, Cobb] Exceptional side 
from the “Spooky” and' “Soul Train” 
team has a cute hand-clap rhythm and 
mid-speed tempo that makes it good 
for dance fans and a good track to 
perk up top 40 listening. Flip: “Waves” 
(2:14) [Same credits.] 

ROBERT KNIGHT (Rising Sons 709) 
Rainbow Valley (3:18) [Sons of Ginza, 
BMI-Cason, Gayden] The “Everlasting 
Love” man is on the scene with a 
splendid side that could relight his hit 
fire. Gentle lyric is delivered with a 
lively rhythmic thrust that could kick 
off a hit reaction. Flip: “Sandy” (3:28) 
[Buckhorn, BMI-Wilkin, Cason] 

VAL DOONICAN (Decca 32337) 

Now (2:38) [Dick James, BMI-Mayer, 
Bradtke, Black] Easy listening mate- 
rial with a sparkling beat and some 
unusual arrangements to set the sound 
apart give Val Doonican a shot at 
matching his English success here on 
the Atlantic’s other side. Flip: “The 
Sun Always Shines When You’re 
Young” (2:48) [Lorna, Doonican, 
Pavey] 

MELANIE (Columbia 44524) 

Garden In 'The City (2:45) [United, 
Amelanie ASCAP-Safka] The simple, 
wistful aura of this Melanie deck gives 
it a good shot at heavy programming, 
especially from FM outlets. A charm- 
ing piece. Flip: “Why Didn’t My 
Mother Tell Me” (2:45) [Amelanie 
ASCAP-Safka] 


MAGNIFICENT 7 (Dial 4074) 

Ooh, Baby Baby (2:59) [Jobete BMI- 
Moore, Robinson] Lightning has al- 
ready struck twice as regards this 
tune (once with the Miracles and again 
with the Five Stairsteps) and the 
Magnificent 7 are trying for a third. 
Could do it, too. Flip: “Never Will I” 
(2:35) [Twig BMI-Himon] 


) 

SPIRAL STARECASE (Columbia 
44566) 

I’ll Run (1:52) [Trousdale, BMI-Page] 
Could be the side that makes this team. 
Follow up to a noise-making effort, 
“I’ll Run” packs a mid-speed tempo 
tune done up in high style with good 
dance power and a fine vocal sound. 
Little top 40 exposure needed to break 
the lid into best seller ranks. Flin: 
“Inside, Outside, Upside Down” (2:24) 
[Yuma, ASCAP-Meskell, Post] 


ENCHANTED FOREST (Variations 
50010) 

I’m Not That Kind of Girl (2:12) 
[Quintessence, BMI-Enchanted Forest] 
Soft femme sound in a whispery group 
vocal driven home by some slow-rock- 
ing rhythmics and a fine instrumental 
support. Team had a very good outing 
to this an dcould now add many new 
fans. Flip: “The Word is Love” (2:41) 
[Kyrie, BMI-Lenox] 


ROGER NICHOLS (A&M 946) 

Let’s Ride (2:50) [Irving, BMI-Nic- 
hold, Williams] Soft sounds of a pretty 
group vocal that builds in volume and 
picks up the pace along the way make 
this very attractive side an ear teaser 
that could spring into the best seller 
circle. Well done session might stir 
middle-of-the-road exposure as did the 
group’s last LP. [No flip info available.] 


SERENDIPITY SINGERS (United 
Artists 50317) 

Rain Doll (2:27) [Serendipity, BMI- 
Holmes] Vet group comes up with a 
highly commercial rock-ballad sound 
on this new release. Last effort cracked 
the Top 100, and this soft-beat tune 
should fare even better. Count on some 
good music play also. Flip: “Love Is 
A State Of Mind” (2:57) [Serendipity, 
BMI-Brovsky, Holmes] 


Q Best Bets 

BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS (Colum- 
bia 44559) 

I Can’t Quit Her (3:38) [Sea- Lark, 
BMI-Kooper] Culled from the group’s 
current chart-riding LP, both sides of 
this new single have the goods to 
achieve a chart berth. Slight edge to 
“Can’t Quit,” a highly danceable blues 
piece. Flip: “House In The Country” 
(3:05 [Same credits.] 


DAPPS FEATURING ALFRED EL- 
LIS (King 6169) 

There Was A Time (2:29) [Golo, 
BMI-Brown, Hobgood] James Brown 
produced this has-to-be-heard instru- 
mental reworking of his while back 
hit. Albert Ellis’ hard driving sax stirs 
this side to a frenzy sure to make it a 
disko favorite. Should produce good 
sales. Flip: “The Rabbit Got The 
Gun” (2:35) [Golo, BMI-Brown, Hob- 
good, Lavong] 


BOBBY SKEL (Uni 55071) 

Sheila Ann (2:57) [Le Bill/Duchess, 
BMI-Skelton] Bobby Skel turns in a 
pro job on this self -penned name song. 
Medium paced rocker pulls a switch 
and winds up with a happy ending. 
Worth some spins. Flip: “'Three Can- 
dles” (2:03) [LeBill, BMI-Skelton] 


RIVERBOAT SOUL BAND (Mercury 
72870) 

Catch A Falling Star (2:25) [Marvin, 
ASCAP-Vance, Pockriss] Perry Como 
will have a hard time recognizing this 
reworking of his years-back hit. Done 
up in funky, sock-it-to-me style, it’ll 
be right up there in chart competition. 
Flip: “Mess Up” (2:34) [G-Clef, 
ASCAP-Farrar] 


MISTER JIM & THE RHYTHM MA- 
CHINE (Date 1611) 

Mrs. Robinson (2:46) [Charing Cross, 
BMI-Simon] Instrumental version of 
the #1 Simon & Garfunkel song fea- 
tures a Ramsey Lewis styling that 
should capture spinoff showings on 
many pop stations and gain favor with 
middle-of-the-road deejays. Flip: “Car- 
nival” (2:19) [April, Horizpic, ASCAP- 
Hamlisch] Perky theme from “The 
Swimmer.” 


MUSIC COMBINATION (American 
Music Makers 0016) 

Crystal (2:32) [Jillbem, BMI-Knight, 
Neiman] Attractive group vocals with 
a gentle rock feel and delightful cho- 
rale backing could establish a sales 
foothold for this outing from the Music 
Combination. Nice change-of-pace 
track that could pick up top 40 ex- 
posure. Flip: “Holding on for Dear 
Love” (2:37) [Same credits.] 


TOMMY FAIA & TRUE BLUE 
FACTS (A & M 945) 

Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain (2:29) [Chap- 
pel, ASCAP-Haber] Pounding, melodic 
rocker that could bring national atten- 
tion to the True Blue Facts. A group 
to watch. Flip: “The Boy I Left Be- 
hind” (2:28) [For-Church, BMI- For- 
syth, McGinnis] 


DAUGHTERS OF ALBION (Fontana 
1619) 

Well Wired (3:05) [Skyhill, BMI- 
Dempsey, Luff] Well done fast-flowing 
stand with catchy instrumental effects 
could establish the Daughters of 
Albion as hitmakers. One to watch. 
Flip: “Story Of Sad” (2:49) [Same 
credits.] 


I 


MARILYN MAYE (RCA Victor 9560) 
Montage from “How Sweet It Is” 
(2:32) [Nat’l. Gen., ASCAP-Webb] 1 
Always an artist with built in easy-*- 
listening acceptance, Marilyn Maye 
has an especially strong release with 
this Jim Webb composition. Mixture?! 
of novelty lyric and straight ballad' 
material could spread into the top 
forty market too. Flip: “On to Some- 
thing New” (2:32) [Helios, BMI-ijp 
Ogerman, English] Bright easybeat | 
type of ballad with less cuteness and4^ 
more listening power. 




I 


THREE DEGREES (Warner Bros.' I 
7198) 

Contact (2:30) [Zig Zag, Anerclasa 
BMI-Barrett, Collins] Smooth vocal 
performance with a strong underlying" 
rhythm highlights this one from thet 
Three Degrees. Certainly worth a few V 
spins from deejays. Flip: “No, No, Not[]^ 
Again” [Gil BMI-Weiss, Pockriss] 'K 


TIMI YURO (Liberty 56049) 
Something Bad On My Mind (2:53)|! 
[Francis, Day & Hunter, ASCAP-l 
Reed, Mason] Solid reentry into the] 
pop field after a lengthy absence isi 
accomplished by Timi Yuro on a throb- 3 
bing, slow paced ballad with bombshell 3 
production to kick off top 40 responses. ' 
Likely to explode. Flip: “Wrong”,i 
(2:26) [Sure-Fire, BMI-Yuro, Staed- 
ler] 


UPSETTERS (ABC 11081) 

Tossin’ & Turnin’ (1:54) [Viva, Har-"l 
vard, BMI-Adamo, Rene] Punching I 
out the beat with a definite accent on, 
dance-fan reaction, the Upsetters pour I 


on the fuel in a blazing revival ofg 
“Tossin’ & Turnin’ ” that could bring,® 


them r&b breakout and a pop response.! 
Flip: “Always in the Wrong Place at 
the Wrong Time” (3:40) [Double 
Diamond, BMI-Gilmore, White, Ma-_ 
dara] 


DUANE EDDY (Reprise 0690) 

The Satin Hours (2:42) [Richbare, 
BMI-Adpt: Glasser, Page] Retitled 
and popped up a bit, this rendering of 
Mozart’s melody (used in “Elvira 
Madigan”) comes in for special atten- 
tion with the movie theme competi- 
tion. Delightful pairing of “twangy 
guitar” and misty strains. Flip: “Niki 
Hoeky” (2:27) [Novalene, BMI-Vegas, 
Vegas, Ford] 


JACK BEDIENT & CHESSMAN (Co 
lumbia 44565) 

The Pleasure Of You (2:33) [Viva/ 
Blackwood, BMI - Fuller, Puckett] 
Jerry Fuller, who cuts the Union Gap, 
produced this debut session by the 
Chessman. Strong ballad with over- 
powering arrangement in the Gap 
tradition could go the same chart 
route. Flip: “It’s Over” (2:53) [Acuff- 
Rose, BMI-Orbison, Dees] 


SAM BAKER (Sound Stage 7 2613) 
Cornin’ To Bring You Some Soul 
(3:00) [Cape Ann, BMI-Whitworth, 
Baker, Miller] This down-home blues 
number gets down to the nitty-gritty 
and could mean big things for Sam 
Baker. Good dance number. Flip: “I 
Can’t Break Away” (2:22) [Same 
credits.] 


ROGER WASHINGTON (Eagle 103) 
You’re Gonna Want Me (2:28) Roger 
Washington puts a whole lot of soul 
into this talking blues number and 
could talk himself onto a whole lot of 
R&B turntables. A sleeper. Flip: 
“Take It Slow” (2:25) 


BEST OF FRIENDS (Laurie 3450) 
Melodies (2:29) [Novia/S&J, ASCAP- 
Dee] Strong circus feel to this well 
done ditty could give the Best Of 
Friends an edge in the tight chart 
race. Top 40 jocks should take to it. 
Flip: “All The World Is Mine” (2:02) 
[Novia, S&J, ASCAP-Shaffer] 


THIRD BOOTH (Independence 86) 

I Need Love (2:17) [Golden Voice/ 
Bunker Hill, BMI-Clore] The Third 
Booth comes on with a no-punches- 
pulled rocker from the Buckinghams 
school. Danceable and listenable item 
could prove to be a summer vunner. 
Flip: “Mysteries” (1:40) [Same

Saturday's Father 40542 
Featuring the "sound" of Frankie Valli 

She wakes them in the early light 
They're going to go away 
She dresses them in party clothes 
She ties their hair in colored bows 
Today is father's day. 

Fie said he'll be there right on time 
Fie'll be there come what may 
Fie'll take them to a puppet show 
The little one can't wait to go 
Today is father's day. 

See him always smiling, full of games to pit 
Fun to have a daddy every Saturday. 

Fie brings them home by suppertime 
To where he used to stay 
And so they kiss him on the cheek 
She sees him off, but they don't speak 
Today was father's day.

Ho Studio LP

ted his latest Reprise album last week, 
“Live At The (locoanut Grove” — ^but 
in a Hollywood recording studio. 

Ho’s recent (May 7) engagement at 
the Cocoanut Grove was marred by the 
non-arrival of some instruments and 
his own sound system and the studio 
session was held to do a few pick-ups. 

Reprise recorded Ho’s live perform- 
ance at various times during his SRO 
two- week engagement. 


Bell Inks Indie Deals, 

NEW YORK — Several new produc- 
tion and distribution deals between 
Bell Records and indie producers were 
announced last week by label president 
Larry Uttal. 

Acuff-Rose Music’s Wesley Rose will 
produce C&W product for the “Bell 
Country Series” logo. First artist 
under the new pact will be Redd 
Stewart, whom Rose will cut in the 
next few weeks. 

Producer Wes Farrell’s Coral Rock 
firm will cut a new instrumental group. 
Central Park, Joe Gottfried Produc- 
tions will wax the Sweet Wine group 
and Van McCoy will cut Chris Bartley 
and other artists. In addition. Bell will 
distribute McCoy’s Vando Records. 

Lincoln Chase of Links Inc. Creative 
Productions has already completed 
sessions for a soon-due single by 
Shirley Ellis (of “Name Game” and 
“Nitty Gritty” fame) and Top Talent 
producer Si Siman is readying the first 
Ronnie Self sides. In a distribution/ 
production pact with Mona-Lee Rec- 


Tetra Deep Purple Rights 

BEVERLY HILLS— The recording 
rights for the U.S., Canada, and Japan 
to a new English rock group called 
Deep Purple have been acquired by 
Tetragrammaton Records, it has been 
announced by Arthur Mogul, president 
of the label. 

ITie group, currently popular in 
England and on the Continent, has 
also been signed by E.M.I., who will 
retain world rights aside from the 
U.S., Canada, and Japan. 

Initial single and LP, “Deep Pur- 
ple,” produced by English indie pro- 
ducer Derek Lawrence, will be re- 
leased by Tetragrammaton within a 
month. Deep Purple also plans an 
American tour in early September. 

Tetragrammaton is highly pleased 
with the signing; the diskery reports 
that Deep Purple was one of the most 
sought-after English groups to appear 
in years. Deep Purple was formed by 
John Coletta, a 35-year-old English 
advertising director, who became a 
millionaire in the advertising business, 
and reportedly invested a half million 
dollars in promoting the act abroad. 


To Record Mel Carter 

ords. Bell will distribute that label’s 
entries supervised by Mrs. Lee Apos- 
toleris. 

Uttal remarked that “the agree- 
ments we maintain with independent 
producers are based on a careful re- 
view of all material submitted to us, 
plus the active scouting that we do 
ourselves. The success of Bell Records 
is based on our ability to attract and 
satisfy the top independent producers 
— our sole source of product. The art 
of promotion and sales is our contri- 
bution to a successful record.” 

Carter Signs With Bell 

Singer Mel Carter has signed a rec- 
ording contract with Bell Records. 
The artist’s previous chart singles in- 
clude “Hold Me, Thrill Me,” “My 
Heart Sings,” “Love Is All We Need,” 
“Band Of Gold,” and “You, You, You” 
on Liberty. 

A former gospel singer with the 
Robert Anderson Singers, Carter led 
his own pop group, the Carvetts, for 
two years before beginning his suc- 
cessful solo career. He has played such 
top nightspots as the Flamingo, Ciro’s 
and the Cocoanut Grove, and major 
TV shows including Ed Sullivan, Joey 
Bishop, Merv Griffin, and Dating 
Game.

Kerr Moves HQ 

NEW YORK — Indie producer George 
Kerr has opened offices at 1697 Broad- 
way, to house his two production firms, 
Bay-Wes and Tra-San, and his newly 
activated publishing companies, Flot- 
eca and Bay Wes. 

Kerr, a one-time member of An- 
thony and the Imperials, was moti- 
vated to enter the production field by 
“the Motown sound," and went to De- 
troit where he met and was introduced 
to the business by Motown prexy, 
Berry Gordy, Jr. Leaving the motor 
city, he returned to New York, where 
a close friend, song^v^ite^ Gerald Har- 
ris, introduced him to Linda Jones, his 
first act. 

Among Kerr’s successes are Linda 
Jones' “Hypnotized,” “Love Explo- 
sion,” by Troy Keys and “Looking 
Over Your Shoulder” and “I’ll Be 
Sweeter Tomorrow,” both by the 
O’Jays. Currently in release is the first 
side by former Supreme Florence Bal- 
lard, “Doesn’t Matter How I Say It."

sion of the parent firm, a film and TV

T\yo members of the Federal Com- 
munications Commission have advo- 
cated stilFeiiing the rules on radio 
and TV license renewals. FCC com- 
missioners Kenneth A. Cox and Nich- 
olas Johnson revealed the results of 
a controversial research study in 
which they concluded the FCC should 
require broadcasters to meet mini- 
mum programing standards before 
their licenses are renewed. Furtlier- 
more, Cox and Johnson suggested the 
existing network of local broadcast- 
ing stations may not be needed. Local 
stations arc intended to preserve com- 
munity expression, they feel, hut 
broadcasters arc skimping on local 
programing while the FCC remains 
uncommitted on the issue. The full 
commission did not sanction the study. 
Its conclusions arc expected to draw 
fire from the broadcasting industry, 
which was upset when the project be- 
gan in April. However, Congressmen 
and others who believe that the FCC 
hasn't been strict enough with broad- 
casters may make increased demands 
for change. “Radio is now some 45 
years old,” says Cox. “Surely it should 
strive to be . . . something more than 
a juke box, a ball park and a news 
ticker." It seems that the "vast waste- 
land” issue has been revived, and 
once again it raises the delicate ques- 
tion of the relationship between pri- 
vate broadcasting and the govern- 
ment. 

Singer-composer-conductor Buddy 
Greco, singer Susan Barrett, and the 
Family Album, which combines mu- 
sic and satirical wit, have been set 
to appear in the third in a TV series 
of 12 “Broadcasters' Specials," each 
entitled “A Very Special Occasion.” 
Following introductory scenes in Palm 
Beach, the program will be taped in 
color at River Ranch Acres, a dude 
ranch near Orlando, Fla., by Henry 
JafFe Enterprises. Dan Lounsbery is 
producer; Walter Miller is director; 
Milton DeLugg is music director; and 
JafFe is executive producer. 

At its annual meeting on May 26, 
the American Federation of Televi- 
sion and Radio Artists (AFTRA) 
named KDKA-Pittsburgh's Ed King 
Pittsburgh’s Outstanding Radio Per- 
sonality. King is a commentator, 
writer, producer, and host of the 
nightly “Party IJne” proCTam. An- 
other honor for King was the citation 
of one of his special KDKA broad- 
casts, "What Frightens You?" as the 
outstanding radio program produced 
in Pittsburgh in 1967. Buzz Aston 
and Bill Hinds, two KDKA personal- 
ities of the 1940’s, were also honored, 
becoming the second recipients of the 
Donald B. Hirsch Memorial Award. 
The first person to receive the Hirsch 
Award was KDKA's Ed Schaughcncy, 
in 1967. Broadcast at midnight last 
Halloween, “What Frightens You?” 
demonstrates that “YOU frighten 
you!” Recently, King’s “America Fam- 
ily Album” won the Freedom Founda- 
tion Award, and bis “Scrapbook In 
Sound — April 1942" received the first 
place radio award in the Ohio State 
competition. 

WMAQ-Cliicago took second and 
third place at the Illinois Associated 
Press Radio-TV Awards Banquet on 
May 25. In the documentary cate- 
gory. WMAQ’s news special, “Death 
In The Sky,” won third place. Pro- 
duced and written by WMAQ news- 
man Harry Mantel, the program at- 
tempted to not only clinically report 
an air collision hut to analytically 
prove that the tragedy could have 
been averted through installation of 
anti-collision devices and the exclu- 
sion of small planes from general 
airports. "Death In The Sky” con- 
cerned last year’s collision of a jet- 
liner and a small private plane in 
the mountainous region of western 
North Carolina. Second place honors 


in the special events category went

for the January^March 1968 period. 
Foreign-label imports for the three 
months amounted to 108,945 units, 
down from the 211,310 television re- 
ceivers sold by foreign makers under 
their own brand names in the same 
period of 1967. 

U.S. -brand television receiver im- 
ports totaled 200,972 in the first 1968 
quarter, compared with 157,994 in the 
same 1967 months. 

Radio Sales Down 

Factory sales of U.S. home radios 
in the first quarter of 1968 added up 
to 6,224,007 units, of which 1,445,579 
were domestically produced. In last 
year’s first quarter, the total was 
6,380,468 and the domestically pro- 

Musicor Inks 
Winterhalter 

NEW YORK — Musicor Records presi- 
dent Art Talmadge announced the 
pacting of Hugo Winterhalter to the 
label on a long-term, exclusive basis. 

Winterhalter, long associated with 
such names as Perry Como, Mario 
Lanza, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, etc., 
was responsible for aiding Eddie 
Fisher to reap 18 straight hits during 
his stay with RCA. 

Winterhalter’s first album for Musi- 
cor is being slated for immediate re- 
lease. A two record set, featuring 
Winterhalter fronting over 70 musi- 
cians in a program of all time movie 
greats from “Gone With The Wind” 
right up to today’s “To Sir With Love” 
and “Camelot,” the LP will retail for 
the low price of $5.79. Musicor’s suc- 
cess with a similar low-priced 2 LP set 
from Gene Pitney has prompted the 
move. Another LP is planned for early 
fall release teaming Winterhalter with 
pianist Eddie Heywood. An earlier 
teaming of the pair resulted in the 
million-selling “Canadian Sunset.” 

“It’s my firm conviction that Hugo 
Winterhalter, who has been able to 
bridge the gap between his early work 
with the big bands, through the 40’s 
and 50’s pop vocalist era, right up to 
today’s market, will provide for Musi- 
cor a new dimension to add to a grow- 
ing group of successful recording art- 
ists,” said Talmadge. 



BIG BROTHERS — Ernie Altschuler 
(right), division vice president and 
executive vp of pop A&R for RCA 
Victor Records, joins the Brotherhood 
in a massive handshake of congratula- 
tions upon the team’s signing to his 
label. The young West Coast group 
had just concluded a press confer- 
ence appearance in Hollywood when 
the above photo was taken. 


duced portion of the total was 1,843,- 
991 units. 

Foreign label imports of home ra- 
dios dipped slightly, from 3,758,011 in 
the first three months of 1967, to 3,- 
577,164 in the same 1968 period. 
Domestic-label imports, however, in- 
creased from 778,466 in the earlier 
period to 1,201,264 in the first three 
months of 1968, or from 12 per cent 
to 19 per cent of the market. 

Auto Radios Up 

Auto radios appear to be having a 
good year. First-quarter 1968 total 
U.S. sales rose to 2,903,959 in contrast 
to the 2,295,381 total for the first 
1967 quarter. While foreign-label im- 
ports had much to do with the in- 
crease (rising from 143,706 in 1967 
to 401,291 in 1968), U.S. production 
soared from 2,151,675 units to 2,502,- 
668 in 1968. 

The total U.S. radio market, there- 
fore, showed a clear increase of a 
little over five per cent in first-quarter 
comparisons, from 8,675,849 units to 
9,127,966 units. While factory sales of 
U.S.-produced models declined from 
3,995,666 units in the first three 
months of 1967 to 3,948,247 in the 
same 1967 period, domestic-label im- 
ports increased substantially to 1,201,- 
264 units in this year’s first quarter, 
froim 778,466 at the same time in 
1967. Foreign-label radio imports 
edged up slightly to 3,978,455 from 
3,901,717 the previous year. 

Softer Phono Market 

The U.S. phonograph market was a 
little softer at the beginning of this 
year than last: Total phonograph sales 
of 1,354,594 in 1968 lagged behind the 
1,638,730 registered in the first quarter 
of 1967, despite a domestic-label im- 
port increase to 256,088 units from 
89,264 in the earlier period. The over- 
all drop is accounted for by the decline 
in foreign-label imports (from 413,772 
to 151,008) and in U.S. production 
(from 1,135,694 to 947,498).

evening, July 7, will be the Don Ellis 
Orchestra. Combining elements of 
rock. Eastern music, modern classical 
music, folk music, and straight blow- 
ing jazz, this band was a hit at both 
the Monterey and Newport Festivals 
last year. 

The Jazz Festival will open on 
Thursday evening, July 4, with Nina 
Simone and Trio, the Cannonball 
Adderly Quintet, the Count Basie Or- 
chestra, the Gary Burton Quartet, 
Jim Hall, Barney Kessel, and the 
Mongo Santamaria Septet. 

Appearing on Friday afternoon, 
July 5, with the Clark Terry Big 
Band will be Rufus Harley, the Elvin 
Jones Trio and the Archie Shepp 
Quintet. 

Saturday afternoon, July 6, will 
spotlight Duke Ellington with Johnny 
Hodges and Benny Carter, the Mon- 
tego Joe Septet, the Tal Farlow 
Quartet, Sonny Criss, and Vi Redd. 

Saturday evening will showcase

show will include Ramsey Lewis, the 
Wes Montgomery Quintet, special 
guest Flip Wilson, the Horace Silver

Folk Festival 

Among the artists set for the Folk 
Festival are several who are making 
their first appearances at Newport 
this year. Tim Buckley, John Hart- 
ford, Taj Mahal and Janis Ian will 
all bow at the Fest on July 28. 

July 28 will also spotlight the re- 
union of the Junior Wells-Buddy Guy 
Blues Band, and later in the day, a 
tribute to the late Woody Guthrie 
which will unite tha Almanac Singers 
including Pete Seeger, Alan Lomax, 
Bess Hawes along with Judy Collins, 
Jack Elliott and Woody’s son, Arlo. 

In an attempt to free pei’formers 
from the restrictions of time and for- 
mat usually found on festival pro- 
grams, the directors of the Newport 
Folk Festival have decided to try an 
evening program which the per- 
formers will control themselves ac- 
cording to the mood of the moment. 

On Thursday evening, July 25, Jim 
Kweskin of Jug Band fame will bring 
together several of the younger per- 
formers on the folk scene today and 
let them do whatever they choose to 
do at the moment either in song or in- 
strumentally. His hope is that the re- 
laxed, party-like atmosphere will pro- 
duce more exciting and honest per- 
formances than those that usually 
occur in concert form. 

Among those participating will be 
members of the Kweskin Jug Band, 
Mel Lyman and his “Family” from 
Fort Hill in Boston, Eric Von 
Schmidt, Richie Havens, Mike Cooney, 
Sandy Bull, Taj Mahal, and members 
of the Kaleidoscope from the west 
coast. 

On July 27, a varied program will 
be presented. It will include such art- 
ists as Roy AcufF, the Smoky Moun- 
tain Boys, George Hamilton IV, Ralph 
Stanley, Ken Threadgill, Jack Elliot 
and B. B. King. 

Daytime events at the Folk Festival 
include a Children’s Day on July 24, 
a Hootenanny on July 25, workshops 
on July 26 and July 27, and on July 
28, a concert of religious music in the 
morning and a concert of contem- 
porary music in the afternoon. In- 
cluded in the Children’s day program 
of song, dance and drama will be the 
Bread and Puppet Theatre, Jim 
Kweskin, Taj Mahal, Sam Hinton, 
Bernice Reagon, Henry Crowdog, an 
American Indian, and Allannis Obom- 
sawin, from Canada. 

The July 28 concert of contem- 
porary music will showcase Tim 
Buckley, John Hartford, Taj Mahal, 
Judy (5ollins, Frank Proffitt, Jr. and 
others. 


FOCUS ON jazz 


iiiiiiiM mi HiiiiiiuiiiiiiiininDiiPiiiiyin 


mg' 


ODE TO 52nd STREET— KENNY 
BURRELL (Cadet 798)-^ This is an 
album of high level music, much be- 
yond the average release. On it, the 
guitar of Burrell is heard to its best 
advantage and much of the success of 
the album should also be credited to 
Richard Evans, who collaborated on 
most of the compositions, arranged 
the music, and conducted the orchestra 
that accompanied Kenny’ guitar. One 
side of the album is devoted to an 
extended work, “Suite For Guitar 
And Orchestra”, a four part inte- 
grated work that is much less formal 
than the title suggests. The flip side 
is made up of five selections, three 
of which are originals. Dizzy Gil- 
lespie’s “Con Alma”, and Dmitri Tiom- 
kin’s beautiful “Wild Is The Wind”. 
Each successive Kenny Burrell album 
gives evidence of his continuing ma- 
turity as a complete musician and on 
this new Cadet album, in the company 
of a large orchestra using brass, 
strings and woodwinds, he gives a very 
impressive performance. 


NEW YORK-1208 MILES — JAY 
McSHANN ORCHESTRA (Decca 
79236) — This is another in the Jazz 
Heritage Series that was introduced 
about eight months ago, vintage ma- 
terial from the vaults at Decca that 
are rich with precious music. These 
sides are from the years 1941-1943, 
and the 1208 miles that are mentioned 
in the title of this album allude to 
the distance from New York to Kansas 
City, whence the band originated. Sig- 
nificant in this release is the work of 
Charlie Parker and the singing of 
Walter Brown and A1 Hibbler. Mc- 
Shann’s band was very much in the 
tradition of the jump style and, while 
the band wasn’t that well known out- 
side of its own territory, when it 
journeyed East the band made a con- 
siderable reputation for itself. The 
sound on the disc is remarkably good 
considering that these fourteen tracks 
were recorded over a quarter of a 
century ago. For all who concern 
themselves with the historical aspect 
of jazz, particularly in the big band 
realm, this Decca Jazz Heritage re- 
lease should be an important part of 
a record library. 


“ . . . AND HIS MOTHER CALLED 
HIM BILL” — DUKE ELLINGTON 
ORCHESTRA (Victor 3906) It’s just 
a year and a week since Billy Stray- 
horn passed away and the release of 
this new Ellington album is a fitting 
memorial to Sweet Pea on the first 
anniversary of his death. All twelve 
compositoins are originals by Stray- 
horn and I doubt if an album was ever 
recorded with more love and tender- 
ness than was this one. Recorded in 
the Fall of 1967, the album features 
the regular Ellington orchestra, plus 
Clark Terry on fiugelhorn. The span of 


FEGAI 


It’s been some time since I’ve done 
a recap on some of the latest jazz re- 
leases, so here are a few comments 
about a handful of albums that have 
crossed my turntable, each one worthy 
of “The MF Stamp Of Good Listen- 


years covers “Rain Check” from 1941. 
to “Blood Count”, Billy Strayhom’s' 
last composition, written in a hospital 
for a Carnegie Hall concert in 1%7. 
Included on this album is “Rock Skip- 
pin’ At The Blue Note”, previously 
only available in this country on a 
Columbia extended play recording, and. 
an Ellington piano solo of “I^tus Q 
Blossom”, of which Duke says, “ThatJI 


is what he most liked to hear me | 


play.” Duke Ellington albums are al 
ways welcome arrivals, but this one 
is especially so. 


GEORGE VAN EPS’ SEVEN- 
STRING GUITAR (Capitol 2783)—, 
About a dozen years ago, George Van 
Eps recorded an album for Columbia 
titled, “Mellow Guitar”. It was the 
kind of album that sold quietly, but 
steadily, and, to the best of my knowl- 
edge, is still available. It was the 
kind of album that all of Van Eps’ 
fellow guitarists knew about and own- 
ed, as one would own a primer. Then 
there was a hiatus of nine years when 
George practically stopped playing, 
let alone recording. In 1966 he did 
an album for Capitol called, “My 
Guitar”, which drew great acclaim 
from the critics. This new Van Eps 
album, played on a seven-string guitar, 
the kind of instrument that he has 
been playing since 1940, is an absolute i 
joy to the ear and it epitomizes the 
essence of taste in music. In the com- 
pany of marimba and drums, Van Eps 
explores twelve selections, practically 
all from the standard bag and all 
played with consummate artistry. His 
lean attack makes him the master of 
understatement, and in his economy 
what good notes he plays! Playing ind 
company of a marimba, the voicing is! 
beautiful and shows Van Eps cif to/ 
his best advantage. This is the kind 
of rare album that, unless one listens 
attentively, could be regarded as a 
moderately ordinary one. But with 
great things, isn’t it often thus ? 


NATURAL SOUL— NAT ADDER- 
LEY (Milestone 9009) — These sides 
were recorded in 1963, presumably for 
release on the Riverside label, defunct 
not long after these were done. With 
the advent of the Milestone label, 
some of the better things that were 
in the can, have begun to be released 
on the new label. The date was super- 
vised by Orrin Keepnews, presently 
at the helm of the Milestone label. 
Nat’s coronet is heard here in the com- j 
pany of Junior Mance, Bob Cranshaw, 
Mickey Roker and Jim Hall or Kenny 
Burrell. All eight tunes are originals 
hy Adderley, whose composer credits 
include such hits as “Work Song”, 
“Jive Samba” and “Sermonette. For 
most of his professional career Nat 
Adderley has been a member of his 
brother’s group. The Cannonball Ad- , 
derley Quintet. The consequence of 
such an arrangement is that, as a 
sideman, very often the impact of a 
player’s talent is diminished. Well, if 
anyone has any doubt about Nat Ad- 
derley’s credentials as a top flight 
player, this album, albeit five years 
old, should clear that situation up.

NYC: SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN 


It was inevitable, with the expand- 
ing dimensions of rock, that someone 
would couple the wealth of electronic 
oscillation to the power of the best 
that goes on and on. 

Though electric breakthroughs have 
become commonplace with the devel- 
opment of classical schemes and elec- 
tric rock groups, psychedeliphiles, new 
blues and all the experimenters at en- 
gineering boards, amplifiers, etc.; it 
was (and is) the Silver Apples who 
can be credited with debuting the mar- 
riage of pure electronics with purely 
primitive rhythm for a brand new 
sound. 

Speaking of new things, this past 
weekend marked the premiere of the 
world’s first rock symphony, a 46-man 


NEW YORK 

Something new from Jimmy Wisner 
is his appearance as an artist with the 
theme from “The Swimmer.” At the 
session, he conducted and produced 
along with playing the piano. His own 
recording for Columbia was preceded 
by his first chore for the label, produc- 
ing the new Buckingham’s single 
“Back In Love Again,” which is cur- 
rently No. 59 on the Top 100. . . . Step- 
penwolf made its first east coast ap- 
pearance at the Fillmore East the past 
weekend, and is now playing Steve 
Paul’s Scene. The Dunhill act will be 
followed shortly by Arthur Brown, 
who is said to be concenti’ating more 
on music than the fiaming headpieces, 
masks, makeup, costumes and other 
paraphernalia that was more remarked 
upon in his recent NY appearances. . . . 

Although most of the credit for the 
current “Here Comes the Judge” furor 
is the result of Rowan & Martin’s 
“Laugh In” popularity, the phrase 
originated with comedy star Pigmeat 
Markham’s years old courtroom com- 
edly act. Slated for a show at the 
Blues Festival on Randall’s Island 
(July 21), Markham has a Chess single 
of “Here Comes the Judge” already 
starting to show results that put him 
in the sales running (No. 87) with the 
Magistrates (MGM), Shorty Long 
(Soul) and the Buena Vistas (Mar- 
quee) who are already in the top 100 
running. . . . The Young Savages now 
doing a two-week stand at the Attic 


Kasenetz-Katz Singing Orchestral Cir- 
cus. Bowing at Carnegie Hall, the en- 
semble spotted on Ed Sullivan’s pro- 
gram (9), and has since begun work- 
ing on a road tour. The core of the 
K.K.S.O.C. is a conglomerate of the 
Ohio Express, 1910 Fruitgum Compa- 
ny, and the Music Explosion; other 
members of the cast feature Lt. Gar- 
cia’s Magical Music Box, the Teri 
Nelson Group, and the St. Louis In- 
visible Marching Band. Both innova- 
vations are heralded by LP’s just on 
the market. Silver Apples can be heard 
on Kapp’s LP and a single (“Oscilla- 
ticns/Whirly Bird”); and the “orig- 
inal cast” album for the Kasenetz-Katz 
Singing Orchestral Circus has just 
come out on the Buddah label.

in Lodi, N.J. following a tour that 
covered several colleges and showspots 
in New England. They also appeared 
on the Jerry Blavatt (Phila.) and Peter

current Roulette side, “Sitting on a 
Plane.” . . . Melanie (Safka) to play 
the “Cousin” Bruce Morrow special 
(15) and tape a Joe Franklin Show 
while in the city. She’s currently mak- 
ing promotional appearances for her 
second Columbia single “Garden in 
the City” and “Why Didn’t My Mother 
Tell Me” both sides of which are now 
beginning to get action in several mar- 
kets across the country. . . . Reg Wil- 
son has just signed to United Artists, 
is now at Jilly’s for an engagement to 
run indefinitely. His first UA release 
is the “Allegro for Macarthur Park.”

(Continued on page 48) 


In the mid-forties there was hardly 
more than a handful of consumer mags 
dedicated to glorifying the pop music 
scene. Downbeat, of course. And Met- 
ronome. The bibles of the big band age. 
There was also Dave Dexter’s Music 
and Rhythm, backed substantially by 
John H. Hammond. And Bob Thiele’s 
Jazz Magazine. 

The youngsters who edited those 
periodicals have since grown into mid- 
ale aged corporate giants in our indus- 
try. During the war years they were 
articulate and persuasive authors. We 
were certain, for example, that if Dave 
Dexter wasn’t there when “Pinetop 
Smith spit blood,” he was, at least, 
in the next room. We were in general 
agreement with Hammond wnen he 
suggested that “Bessie Smith was the 
greatest artist American jazz has ever 
produced.’ And nodded knowingly 
when George Frazier forecast “Nick’s 
is a small place but there are those of 
us who love it . . . and those of us, who 
in days to come will be stabbed . . . 
with a genuinely heartbreaking nostal- 
gia.” 

Hammond is now with Columbia 
Records. Dexter with Capitol. Thiele 
with Impulse (ABC). Milt Gabler, who 
ran a little jazz record shop on 52nd 
Street (and occasionally wrote book- 
lets on artists such as Jimmie Noone) 
is now a Decca exec. George Avakian, 
another “jazz hot” prophet, is yet an- 
other major label producer. Critic 
Leonard l eather has been involved in 
the production of several disk antholo- 
gies. A more recent Downbeat editor. 
Jack Tracy, now produces for Liberty. 

Almost twenty-five years after there 
are at least a hundred consumer mags 
covering contemporary music. The two 
most concinnate, it seems to us, are 
Crawdaddy, a slick format mag pub- 
lished monthly out of N.Y. and Rolling 
Stone, Jann Wenner’s San Francisco 
based bi-monthly. No small measure of 
Roiling Stone’s success is due to col- 
umnist pop-jazz dean Ralph J. Gleason 
Who contributes eloquent observations 
to each printing. Unlike G. Frazier 
(currently represented in Esquire) 
Gleason has managed to bridge the 
gaps between Goodman, Gillespie and 
Grateful Dead. He is always authorita- 
tive, usually opinionated. And most 
always right. 

The current (June 22) issue of Roll- 
ing Stone is particularly worthwhile 
because of a special report on the Los 
Angeles scene by Jerry Hopkins who 
has come up with a most definitive 
study of what’s happening here and 
now. We strongly suggest you pick 
up a copy at your local newsstand. 
And, as a preview, here are a few 
random quotes: 

“They come to L.A. to hang out, to 
organize new groups and audition at 
the Troubadour on Monday nights, to 


hole up in a canyon and write songs, 
to gig at non-union clubs for a per- 
centage of the door or merely for a 
chance to be seen. They figure if they 
are within walking or driving distance 
of a studio or pressing plant ... it is 
easier to get heard, get signed, get 
rich. Which is true (in a limited sense), 
for more acts are “discovered” or “cre- 
ated” in L.A. and more records are cut 
in L.A. than in almost all other cities 
of the world combined.” 

“Los Angeles is a strange town, 
seeming at times as if were made in 
Japan and shipped here in small parts, 
then assembled by a committee of 
capricious drunks. But it has a pull, 
an attraction that may often (if not 
always) be related to — but somehow 
a little stronger than — the record 
company and the money it represents.” 

“Los Angeles is home, today, for 
everyone from Ray Charles to Herb 
Alpert; from Tim Buckley to Don 
Ellis ; from Phil Spector to Lou Rawls ; 
from Glen Campbell to Taj Mahal; 
from Johnny Rivers to Nancy Sinatra; 
from Lee Michaels to Chad and Jere- 
my, and from Nilsson to Elvis Pres- 
ley.” 

“It is where the Rolling Stones came 
to record once upon a time and where 
the Jefferson Airplane records now. . . . 



Weston & Belafonte Herb Alpert 


It is the headquarters for the Cham- 
bers Bros., the Turtles, the Mamas and 
Papas, the Byrds, Paul Revere and the 
Raiders, Love, the Association, Canned 
Heat, the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, 
Steppenwolf, the Stone Poneys, the 
Doors, the Iron Butterfly, Clear Light 
and the United States of America.” 

Along with our grudging compliment 
(he writes too damn well) one minor 
correction to the Hopkins report — he 
suggests that Terry Melcher “has not 
yet, and probably never will, turn 
about and produce his mother.” The 
fact is that Melcher did just that 
about four years ago. A Doris Day LP 
which, incidentally, v.'as her last chart 
item. 

Add another coast label — Flick City 
Records at 6565 Sunset in Hollywood. 
We’d wild guess that the owner’s name 
is fictitious — he’s billed as Percival P. 
Pennypecker, who “has built an empire 
by manufacturing large economy size 
bras.” Initial releases feature John 
Dunn and Jimmy Ford. Related to 
Edsel?

PHIL KAHL, Exec. Vice President 


Knighf Named To 
Columbia A&R Slot 

NEW YORK — Columbia Records has 
appointed Sonny Knight associate 
producer of west coast A&R, it has 
been reported by Jack Gold, vice presi- 
dent of A&R for the diskery. 



Sonny Knight 


Knight, in his new capacity, will be 
based in Hollywood and will be respon- 
sible to Gold. He will produce record- 
ings by Gordon Alexander, among 
other artists. 

Most recently head of the A&R de- 
partment for Mira Productions, Knight 
joins the Columbia staff with over 
twelve years of diversified experience 
in the music and recording industry. 
While working as an independent pro- 
ducer, Knight was responsible for 
recording the chart hit “Something’s 
Got a Hold on Me” by Don and Allene 
Cole. 

Knight has also worked as music 
director for several radio stations, in- 
cluding KENO in Las Vegas, KRIZ 
in Phoenix, and KTLN in Denver. 


Eaton, Wilson Added 
To Laurie Prod. Staff 

NEW YORK — Gene Schwartz, A&R 
man with Laurie Records, announced 
the addition of Joe Wilson and Walter 
Eaton of the Classics IV (recently 
charted with “Spooky”) to the pro- 
duction staff of the label. 

Eaton and Wilson, based out of 
Jacksonville, Fla., are currently comb- 
ing the Southeast for talent. 



CLASSIC OCCASION — Norman Ra- 
cusin, division vice president and gen- 
eral manager of RCA Records, mounts 
the podium to greet Eugene Ormandy 
and the Philadelphia Orchestra follow- 
ing the first recording made under a 
new long-term agreement with the 
label. This is the first RCA session for 
the Philadelphia Orchestra under mu- 
sical director Ormandy in 25 years, 
and it was the first time since 1960 
that they waxed in the ensemble’s 
home at the Philadelphia Academy of 
Music. Work to be featured on the 
first release under the new label con- 
tract is Tchaikovsky’s “Pathetique” 
Symphony (#6), which was the first 
recording made when Ormandy joined 
the Philadelphia Orchestra and RCA 
in 1936. 


Un-New Sound From West 
To Make Epic Premiere 

NEW YORK — A new San Francisco 
bay area group has blossomed with 
their own kind of “not new” sound. 
Simply called West, the team offers an 
approach that is called by spokesman 
Jon Sagen “basically lyric, warm and 
natural.” 

The reason behind turning to this 
anti-new music style was expressed by 
Sagen: “I think ‘pop/rock’ music is re- 
turning to a more lyric, warm trend, 
away from the loud crashing “psyche- 
delic/blues’ bag it has been in. None 
of us has ever been much interested in 
making a lot of noise or in playing 
loud.. Loudness always seems to 
trample feelings to a pulp, and feeling 
is most important to us. As for the 
blues, we seldom play them because we 
seldom have them.” 

Recently pacted to Epic Records, the 
West will be heard from with a single 
coupling “Just Like Tom Thumb’s 
Blues” with “Baby You Been On My 
Mind.” An album is also completed 
and will be unveiled at the label’s na- 
tional sales convention in Las Vegas 
next week. 

The team’s sound is derived from 
various influences. Lead guitarist Ron 
Cornelius and bassist Joe Davis have 
played together in rock and country 
bands; Mike Stewart, rhythm guitar, 
grew up playing and singing folk 
music; Drummer Lloyd Perata ap- 
peared with rock combos; Bob Claire, 
who plays several instruments and 
does the arrangements, worked in big 
bands and jazz groups before joining 
West; and Sagen played trombone and 
trumpet in Dixieland acts. 

According to Len Levy, Epic’s vp of 
sales and distribution, “the group does 
not have a new sound, but expresses 
feelings with a pleasant, melodic style. 
At a time when people in our industry 
are waiting for the next ‘new’ sound to 
appear, one thing remains constant — 
the ever present popularity of a lyric 
melody which is what the West is all 
about.” 

Levy also noted that the label is de- 
veloping extensive plans for promotion 
and exploitation on a national basis. 
These plans will be described at the 
sales meetings next week.

Other gold record winners shoiwing 
up as best-selling albums are Bob 
Dylan’s “John Wesley Harding” and 
“Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits.” Contem- 
porary rock groups are placing in the 
listings with albums by Moby Grape, 
The Electric Flag, Blood, Sweat and 
Tears, The Chambers, Gary Puckett 
and The Union Gap, and Spirit. Gary 
Puckett and The Union Gap have two 
albums charted in the Top 100, “Wom- 
an, Woman” and “Young Girl.” The 
label’s “Rock Machine” promo cam- 
paign launched earlier this year is 
credited with playing a major part 
in exposing Columbia’s roster of rock 
artists to consumers. 

In the popular-music field, Colum- 
bia’s strength is clearly in evidence by 
the continuing popularity of artists 
such as Andy Williams, whose latest 
Columbia album, “Honey,” is in the 
Top 100; Johnny Mathis, with his 
high-ranking LP “Love Is Blue”; Patti 
Page, with “Today My Way”; and 
Ray Conniff, with his Columbia LP’s 
“It Must Be Him” and “Honey” both 
included on the chart. 

The success of the label’s “Welcome 
to Columbia Country” promotion cam- 
paign is also being felt as Johnny 
Cash’s latest album, “Johnny Cash at 
Folsom Prison,” enters into the Top 
100 album category.

an all out advertising and promotion 
campaign, according to the label’s gen- 
eral manager, Bud Dain. 

More than 1500 radio stations have 
agreed to participate in a special sa- 
lute scheduled for June 19, which has 
been designated Johnny Mann Day, 
and are being serviced with a special 
sampler LP, an open end interview and 
special radio station promos by Mann. 


Also scheduled for June 19 is a 
special appearance by Mann and the 
Johnny Mann Singers on the Joey 
Bishop Show, for which Mann is musi- 
cal director. The group will perform 
selections from their new set, “This 
Guy’s In Love With You,’’ skedded 
for June release. 

“The phenomenal response we have 
received from everyone, especially the 
radio stations, is but another indica- 
tion of why Johnny Mann has been 
such a giant in the record industry for 
the last 12 years,” said Liberty nation- 
al promotion manager Dennis Ganim.

other stars who are involved from time 
to time in similar activities.”

^‘SEALED WITH A KISS'^ 

THEIR BRAND NEW SMASH ON MUSICOR RECORDS 

A most unusual performance of a great song 



Cash Box — June 15, 1968 


Taient On Singe 


A 




BOBBY VINTON 


LATIN QUARTER, N. Y. — Bobby 
Vinton was in his element on opening 
night at the Latin Quarter. He sang 
and “Oh Yea’d” his way into the 
hearts of a packed, mostly tourist 
house, which couldn’t seem to get 
enough of the Kurly-headed Kid or his 
dreamy ballads. 

Vinton brightened the spirits of the 
highly involved opening night crowd. 
From his opening medley, served 
whilst touring the audience, to his 
show-closer, “Gotta Travel On,” his 
communication with his audience was 
almost tangible. 

His repertoire seemed to encompass 
every tune that’s ever decorated the 
Most Wanted list, ranging from the 
greenest of evergreens to the ripest of 
plums from current harvests (includ- 
ing a well-timed international smor- 
gasbord). The latter included a tour 
of European musicdom, with stopovers 
in Italy, France (“A Man And A 
Woman”), Poland (an unpronouncea- 
ble, but lively polka) and even a visit 
to Israel (“Hava Nagilah”). 


Naturally the bill was also spiced 
with a choice sampling from the vast 
reservoir of Vinton super-sellers, 
which included the well-remembered 
“Mr. Lonely,” “Roses Are Red” and 
“Blue Velvet,” among others. From 
the Broadway scene came another 
medley — featuring a dab of “George 
M” (“Over There” and “Give My Re- 
gards To Broadway”) and a dash of 
“How Now, Dow Jones” (“Step To 
The Rear”). 

One of the high points of a Vinton 
performance is his “Mama Don’t Al- 
low” routine, where he shows his ver- 
satility not only as a singer but as an 
accomplished musician as well. Be- 
tween vocal choruses Vinton switches 
from singer to trumpeter, from trum- 
peter to saxophonist and from saxo- 
phonist to clarinetist, and then back 
to his most recognized role as song 
stylist. 

One thing is certain about Vinton’s 
opening at the Latin Quarter — the 
fans who picked up their tabs at the 
end of the evening considered the 
money well spent. 


GORDON LIGHTFOOT— RAUN McKINNON 


BITTER END, N. Y. — Canadian 
singer / songwriter / guitarist Gordon 
Lightfoot came into New York last 
week to fulfill an engagement at the 
Bitter End nitery in Greenwich Vil- 
lage. We saw him on opening night, 
Wednesday (5). 

Lightfoot is one of the most talented 
contemporary songwriters around. His 
best songs (“Early Morning Rain,” 
“Steel Rail Blues,” “That’s What You 
Get For Loving Me” and “The Long 
River” are prime examples) have 
pure, folk-styled melodies and lyrics, 
and they move with a strong but 
graceful rhythm that has become one 
of his trademarks. 

The words “strong” and “graceful” 
may also be used to describe Light- 
foot as a performer. Both rugged and 
youthful, he sings and plays guitar 
(both six and twelve string) with 
finely controlled energy. Red Shea 


(lead guitar) and John Stockfish (bass 
guitar), both excellent musicians, 
blend the sounds of their instruments 
so tightly with Lightfoot’s that the 
total sound seems to be coming from 
one instrument. When Lightfoot, Shea 
and Stockfish perform a song like 
“Early Morning Rain,” the excitement 
can reach a pretty high level. 

Lightfoot may be heard on disks 
via his United Artists albums. 

Preceding Lightfoot on Wednesday 
night was another talented singer/ 
songwriter /guitarist, a young lady 
named Raun McKinnon, who records 
for Kapp Records. Miss McKinnon 
sings soft ballads and spirited blues 
with equal skill, and often intricate 
guitar work is very expert. Her songs, 
which, like Lightfoot’s, have a folk 
flavor, are well written, and she could 
develop into a writer of considerable 
stature. 



PEER-LESS — Jackie Paris and Ann 
Marie Morse have joined the roster of 
Peer-Southern Productions. Paris, pre- 
viously with ABC Records, has won 
Downbeat, Playboy and Metronome 
male vocalist awards. Miss Morse was 
a Canadian TV performer, and won 
the Toronto Telegram female vocalist 
poll three years straight before com- 
ing to the States to sing with the 
Maynard Ferguson and Kay Winding 
outfits. 

The pair will record singly and to- 
gether as vocalists, and Paris is slated 
for an LP as a guitar soloist. The pair 
is shown with P-S assistant profes- 
sional manager Del Serino (1), relax- 
ing after the contract signings. 


Columbia Adds Two 
To Hall oi Fame 

NEW YORK — Columbia Records has 
released two new records in its Hall 
of Fame series. 

“Lew Leslie’s Blackbirds of 1928,” 
(OL 6770), is the only available re- 
cording of the famous all-Negro musi- 
cal revues which fiourished in the 20 ’s, 
and this version, with 518 perform- 
ances, was the longest-running show 
of this type. The Jimmy McHugh- 
Dorothy Fields score, which introduced 
“I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” 
and “Diga Diga Do,” was recorded in 
1932 by Jack Kapp, then recording 
director at Brunswick, with only two 
members of the original cast, Adelaide 
Hall and Bill Robinson. Ethel Waters, 
the Mills Brothers, Cab Calloway, the 
Cecil Mack Choir and the orchestras 
of Duke Ellington and Don Redman 
were added on the date. 

“Ballads and Breakdowns of the 
Golden Era,” recorded by Columbia in 
the late 20’s and early 30’s, will be the 
first country album to be released as 
part of the Hall of Fame series. The 
album, literally a history of early 
country music, features the Skillet 
Dickers, the Tar Heel Rattlers and the 
Roane County Ramblers, among 
others. Emphasis is on banjo and 
fiddle, since the guitar was quite un- 
known in the mountains before the 
early 20 ’s. 


MARTHA REEVES & THE VANDELLAS 


COPACABANA, N. Y. — Some groups 
have to wait a long time for a shot at 
stardom, and when the chance comes 
they blow it. Gordy’s Martha Reeves 
& the Vandellas have waited for four 
long years, picking up 15 hits (includ- 
ing a few #1 songs) along the way, 
and when their chance came, they 
were more than ready. Their opening 
at the famed Copacabana was one of 
the most exciting events we’ve seen in 
a long time. 

Backed up by the Copa band (which 
sounded unusually good), augmented 
by a Motown-provided rhythm section, 
with the whole works under the direc- 
tion of Motown’s Maurice King, the 
group came on like a heat wave. 
Getting right into the thick of things 
with a medley of four of their hits, 
“I’m Ready For Love” (which started 
the Vandella’s rebirth last year), 
“Come And Get These Memories,” 
“Quicksand” and “Heat Wave,” 
Martha & co. followed up with a com- 
plete version of “Nowhere To Run.” 
Two more medleys showed the girls 
at their most professional, adult- 
pleasing form: “Love Makes Me Do 
Foolish Things” (a B side of a very 


minor hit which has become more 
popular than most of their big hits) '*<• 
smoothly blended into “L-O-V-E” and 
“Love Can Be A Moments Madness”; ^ 
“The Girl From Ipanema,” “Call Me” 
and “Look Of Love” seemed to be one 
song as Martha skillfully weaved the 
lyrics around the common music. ^,4 

The uptempo “My Baby Loves Me” 
set the stage for a nice bit of humor- ^ 
ous interchange between the girls to 
introduce “Honey Chile.” Martha took 
the solo spotlight for a haunting first 
chorus of “Our Day Will Come,” ac- 
companied by guitarist Dave Knight, 
and the song move uptempo as the 
group joined in for the last chorus. • 
Two spirituals, especially apt consider- 
ing the tragic events of the last few ^ 
days, were well received by the audi- 
ence. Because of the response, an extra 
song, “I Promise To Wait My Love” 
(groups recent chart item) was added 
to the set before Martha Reeves and 
the Vandellas wound up, to loud audi- 
ence participation, with “Dancing In ^ 
The Streets.” Audience gave the group 
a standing ovation, a tribute they well ^ 
deserved. 


JONI MITCHELL— HEDGE & DONNA ! 


THE TROUBADOUR, HOLLYWOOD 
~Joni Mitchell, a singer and a com- 
poser from Saskatchewan with long 
golden hair and a voice which can only 
be compared to those of Joan Baez 
and Judy Collins, enchanted an open- 
ing night audience with her poetry 
and the purity of her singing. 

Although she has been active for 
several years on the Canadian folk 
scene, this was Miss Mitchell’s local 
night club debut. 

Her repertoire includes songs from 
her recently released album on Re- 
prise, numbers such as “Nathan La 
Franeer,” “Marcie” and “I Had a 
King,” in addition to later composi- 
tions. 

Among her songs which have been 
adopted by other performers are 
“Michael From Mountains” and “Both 
Sides Now” (Judy Collins), “The 
Circle Game” (Ian and Sylvia) and 
“Chelsea Morning” and “Clouds” 
(Dave van Ronk) . 

Miss Mitchell’s writing is sensitive 
and delicate : each song is a short 
story, miniature novel or philosophi- 
cal observation set in graceful poetry 


and beautiful melodies. She frag- ^4 
ments words and images into multiple 
meanings, sneaking in literary word 
plays such as “Cart wheels turn to car 
wheels” and “Midway down the Mid- 
way.” 

Her voice surpasses the challenge of 
her lyrics, soaring through and ex- ■# 
ploring her fra^le words and melo- 
dies with incredible ease against the ’ 
subtle accompaniment of her acoustic 
guitar. Miss Mitchell is unquestion- 
ably a major artist. 

Also on the Troubadour bill were 
Hedge and Donna, a folk duo repre- 
sented by a recent album from Capitol. ^ 

Both sing well — original material 
and songs of singers such as Tim 
Buckley, and Nina Simone. 

Hedge plays acoustic 12-string gui- 
tar, an instrument which causes him 
occasional tuning difficulties. Donna 
plays tambourine. They are backed by 
an electric bass guitar and a conga 
player. 

Most of their vocal efforts are of- 
fered with tight dual voicings, though 
both also demonstrated impressive 
solo ability during their set. 




N. Y. UNDERGROUND 


FILMORE EAST, N. Y. — MOBY 
GRAPE, FUGS, GARY BURTON 
QUARTET. Columbia artist’s Moby 
Grape headlined 4 shows at the East 
Village theatre last weekend. They 
presented a polished act, with none of 
the usual delays for ‘tuning up.’ Dur- 
ing the hour they were on, not one 
member of the group acknowledged 
the audience. They were, except for 
some fine singing, completely silent. 
Although it would be nice to know 
what songs were being performed, the 
lack of info did not seriously detract 
from an excellent performance. The 
Fugs, now with Reprise, also are a 
strong act, and their vulgarity did not 
bother the audience. They augmented 
their regular act with extra studio 
musicians, but a pseudo-conductor 
managed to keep the show flowing 
smoothly. RCA’s Gary Burton jazz/ 
rock group was reviewed recently. 


CAFE AU GO GO, N.Y. 

CANNED HEAT 

Liberty’s Canned Heat opened the 
newly redecorated & restyled Cafe Au 
Go Go for a week’s run. The room has 
excellent instrumental acoustics, but ^ 
the kinks have not been worked out of 
the mike system. The new ‘Cafe-in- ' - 
the-round’ set-up did not add or de- 
tract from the performance of Canned 
Heat. With ex-Blood, Sweat & Tears 
organist A1 Kooper sitting in, the 
group managed to squeeze 4 songs in- 
to their hour show. Canned Heat is ^ 
one of the best jazz-based blues 
groups around, but they did not really 
get warmed up until the last two num- 
bers. Then they were excellent. Their 
closing song, “Fried Hockey Boogie,” ** 
showed the group as individuals, as 
each member, including Keeper, took 
a solo. They’re all good, and so is 
Canned Heat.

Cash Box — June 15, 1968 



“In this difficult day, in this difficult time 
for the United States, it is perhaps well to 
ask what kind of nation we are, what direction 
we want to move in. 

. . . You can be filled with bitterness, and hatred 
and a desire for revenge. We can move in that 
direction as a country-and greater polarization: 
black people amongst black, white amongst white, 
filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can 
make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to 
understand and to comprehend and replace that 
violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread 
across our land, with an effort to understand, 
compassion and love.”

THE LOOK OF LOVE — Eydie Gorme — 
Columbia CS 9652 

Eydie Gorme is now with the RCA-dis- 
tributed Callender label, but Columbia still 
has some strong Gorme sides in the can, as 
evinced by this powerhouse LP. The lark has 
never been in better form as she runs through 
the chart-riding “The Look Of Love,” “What 
Makes Me Love Him,” (from “Apple Tree”), 
“Make The World Go Away” and seven other 
familiar songs. lEydie’s strong track record 
makes this a must album for all outlets. 



THE REAL PEARL — Pearl Bailey — Project 
3 PR 5022 SD 

Pearl Bailey, who is captivating audiences 
on Broadway in “Hello, Dolly!” recorded this 
album this year on her day off. Miss Bailey, 
of course, is one of the luminaries in the 
history of entertainment, and this LP serves 
as an appropriate document in that history. 
Singing with the ease that comes only with 
accomplished artistry. Miss Bailey delivers 
some of her famous asides in “Nobody,” gives 
a tender treatment of the lovely “The Color 
Of Rain,” and offers a fine reading of the 
inspirational song, “I Believe.” “The Real 
Pearl” is a rare pearl. 


QUIETLY WILD— Billy Vaughn— Dot DLP 
25857 

Here’s a new package of 11 instrumentals 
from Billy Vaughn, highlighted by two mil- 
lion sellers, “Theme From ‘Valley Of The 
Dolls’ ” and “Love Is Blue” and the Grammy- 
winning “Gentle On My Mind.” As the title 
implies, songs are done slightly uptempo with 
the famous Vaughn twin sax sound. Of special 
interest is “Solitude (Sonata For Harpsi- 
chord),” a hauntingly beautiful Vaughn orig- 
inal. Vaughn has a tremendous following and 
this is a must stock LP. 



LOVE AND OTHER CRIMES— Lee Hazle- 
wood — Reprise 6297 

Lee Hazlewood has enjoyed considerable 
success as producer /writer for Nancy Sinatra, 
and their duet LP, “Nancy & Lee” is cur- 
rently on the charts. Produced by Hazlewood 
in Paris, this new set should do much to 
spread his fame. The artist introduces 6 self- 
penned numbers including “Wait & See” and 
the title song, and comes over especially well 
on two standards, “The House Song” and 
“She’s Funny That Way.” Should enjoy good 
sales. 









RIDIN’ HIGH — Martha Reeves & Vandellas 
— Gordy 926 

Martha & the Vandellas have had consider- 
able singles success in the six years they’ve 
been together, but this album marks a new 
high in their career. Three singles, “Honey 
Chile,” “Love Bug,” and “I Promise To Wait 
My Love” are joined by strong renditions of 
“(There’s) Always Something There To Re- 
mind Me,” “To Sir, With Love,” and “I Say 
A Little Prayer” to create a package which 
should quickly rise up the charts. 


THE SAVAGE SEVEN — Original Motion 
Picture Score — Atco SD 33-245 

Cream’s recent chart single, “Anyone For 
Tennis,” kicks off this new soundtrack entry 
from the American International pic. Iron 
Butterfly, which has an LP of its own on the 
charts, contributes two songs (both also in- ^ 
eluded in their LP), “Iron Butterly Theme” 
and “Unconscious Power,” and newcomers 
Barbara Kelly & the Morning Good perform 
“Maria’s Theme” and “Ballad Of The Savage 
Seven.” Could be plenty of action on this set. -i'f 


WAKE UP . . . IT’S TOMORROW— Straw- 
berry Alarm Clock — UNI S 73025 , 

Two recent single clicks, “Tomorrow” and 
“iSit With The Guru” highlight this new set 
from the Strawberry Alarm Clock. The group 
continues to serve out pleasing pop psyche- ^ 
delia which should turn on their many fans. 
“Curse Of The Witches,” which runs almost 
seven minutes, and the three-part “Black But- 
ter, Past, Present And Future,” should pick 
up strong FM play. Good set to stock. 


ITALIAN BRASS — MUSICA PER CUORI 
GIOVANI (MUSIC FOR THE YOUNG AT . 
HEART)— Fiesta FLPS 1517 

Here’s a selection of pop melodies arranged 
for brass instruments with a bold Italian 
flavor. The sound is brisk, spirited, and fresh. 

The sunny tunes include “Tarantella,” “Quan- 
do Dico Che Ti Amo (When I Tell You That 
I Love You),” “iSorrento Blue,” and “Ciri- ^ 
biribin.” This set is already selling excellently 
in the Latin market in New York, and could A -> 
very well gain broader acceptance in middle- 
of-the-road circles. 


Pop Best Bets 



DEFINITION— Chrysalis— MGM SE 4547 
MGM has launched a big push for its new 
pop act, Chrysalis. This drive is likely to be 
rewarded by the sextet (one gal and five 
guys). The low-keyed rock on this album is 
bubbly, bright, and highly infectious. Top 
tracks include “What Will Become Of The 
Morning,” “April Grove,” “Baby, Let Me 
Show You Where I Live,” and “Summer In 
Your Savage Eyes.” Chrysalis could create 
plentiful excitement with this disk. 


QUICKSILVER MESSENGER SERVICE — 
Capitol ST 2904 

The Quicksilver Messenger Service, the 
beneficiary of a major push by Capitol, offers 
a powerful selection of rock material, which 
includes the quartet’s first Capitol single, 
“IDino’s Song.” Other tunes on the set in- 
clude “Pride Of Man,” “It’s Been Too Long,” 
and “The Fool.” Instrumentally and vocally 
adept, the group could generate considerable 
sales activity with this album. 



WILD IN THE STREETS— Original Motion 
Picture Soundtrack — Tower 5009 

American International Pictures has had 
notable success with its soundtracks and this 
latest set should be no exception. Vet song- 
writers Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil have 
contributed six songs to the flick, including ft* 
‘‘Shape Of Things To Come,” released as a 
single by the 13th Power. Same group also ^ , 
does 4 additional songs in the flick, with 
two more coming from the Second Time. Two 
Les Baxter-composed -instrumentals round 
out the LP, which may well be in for heavy 
action. 


I WISH I KNEW — Billy Taylor — Tower ST ■v- 
5111 

Renowned jazz pianist Billy Taylor is spot- ^ 
lighted on this package of percolating ditties 
which should appeal to pop and jazz fans 
alike. The title tune of the set hit the charts 
recently in a vocal version by Solomon Burke. 
“Morning,” “Hard To Find,” and “Lonesome 
Lover” are other outstanding selections. Tay- 
lor is backed by Ben Tucker (bass) and Grady 
Tate (drums). Free-swinging and graceful, 
Taylor’s performance is scintillating.

CHILDREN OF THE FUTURE— Steve Mil- 
ler Band Capitol SKAO 2920 

The Steve Miller Band, in its album debut, 
renders a group of blues-oriented tunes, cre- 
ating a rich, full, intense sound which should 
gain favorable response for this LP. Included 
on the disk are the title track, “In My First 
Mind,” “Baby’s Callin’ Me Home,” and “Key 
To The Highway.” The quintet would seem 
to have a bright future in store for itself. 



INFINITE McCOYS— McCoys—Mercury SR 
61163 

The McCoys have gone underground with 
this set. Previously a standard rock group, 
the quartet scored a chart success with “Hang 
On Sloopy.” This LP is a blend of jazz, psy- 
chedelia, and rock. Jazz qualities are particu- 
larly evident in the long (6:03) “Resurrec- 
tion.” “Hell” is a freaky, far-out cut, brood- 
ing and ominous. Tim Buckley’s “Song For 
Janie” is an attractive folk-rock ditty. The 
McCoys should find their new bag a profitable 
one. 


MICHEL LEBRANO 



rh' yi.mt 0 uirh O/ 


THE YOUNG GIRLS OF ROCHEFORT— 
Michel Legrand — United Artists UAS 6662/- 
UAL 3662 

Here’s a strong orchestral version of the 
score from “Young Girls” conducted and ar- 
ranged by its composer, Michel Legrand. 
Highly imaginative use of a jazz-tinged piano 
and organ makes this more than just another 
soundtrack takeoff. Legrand’s score for “Um- 
brellas Of Cherbourg” brought his talents to 
the best-seller lists, and this set might well 
follow a similar path. 



THE WORLD’S LAST PRIVATE CITIZEN 
— Barry McGuire — Dunhill DS 50033 

This latest LP from Barry McGuire con- 
tains a wide variety of material. Protest is 
represented by Dylan’s “Masters Of War” 
and McGuire’s first smash, “Eve Of Destruc- 
tion,” rock by “Hang On Sloopy” (with back- 
ground vocals by the Mamas & Papas) and 
“Walking My Cat Named Dog,” and folk by 
Travis Edmundson’s “Cloudy Summer After- 
noon.” McGuire handles all the idioms with 
ease and expertise. A natural for Barry’s 
fans. 



WITHOUT EARTH — The Moon — Imperial 
LP— 12381 

Launched with very little fanfare, this new 
set from the Moon is one of the best albums 
of the year. As vath the Bee Gees, they have 
taken a Beatle-introduced idea and carried it 
a step farther. The group’s chief cleffer, 
Matthew Moore, contributed 9 of the 12 cuts, 
including “Pleasure” and “Give Me More.” 
Other outstanding cuts on the album are 
“Brother Lou’s Love Colony” and “Got To 
Be On My Way.” In-store play will result 
in good sales. 


HAL HESTER DOES HIS OWN THING— 
RCA LSP/LPM 3996 

Hal Hester adds a Latin beat to the score 
from the award-winning rock musical, “Your 
Own Thing,” which he co-wrote with Danny 
Apolinar, and it proves a winning combina- 
tion. The “rock” is soft enough to appeal to 
a wide range of buyers. The entire album 
merits praise, but we’ll single out “The Flow- 
ers,” the swinging “Somethin’s Happ’nin’ 
(Baby, Baby!)” and the title song for special 
attention. iShould do quite nicely. 


SILVER APPLES— Kapp KS 3562 

Kapp records has slated a strong promo 
drive for this offbeat, inventive set from the 
two-man Silver Apples group. Utilizing 9 
audio oscillators with eighty-six manual con- 
trols played with hands, elbows, knees and 
feet, plus a thirteen-drum, five-cymbal per- 
cussion set, the duo produces a mystical sound. 
Lyrics have a poetic feel and add to the LP’s 
strength. Should be good vibrations in store 
for this effort. 


IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR — Mirettes — 
Revue RS 7205 

The title song of this set was a chart rider 
for the Mirettes, a talented femme trio, and 
this LP should also do well. The group turns 
in strong performances on an unusual variety 
of material for an R&B-oriented album: “On 
The Good iShip Lollipop,” the Bee Gees’ “To 
Love Somebody,” and “iSomewhere” from 
“West Side iStory.” Other R&B standards, 
including the groups latest single, “Take Me 
For A Little While,” “Tweedlee Dee,” and 
“Keep On Running” also come off quite well. 
Expect good reaction. 


Jazz Picks 



STAN KENTON CONDUCTS THE JAZZ 
COMPOSITIONS OF DEE BARTON-^Capi- 
tol ST 2932 

■Stan Kenton’s creativity has kept his name 
in the forefront of the jazz world. Fronting 
an 18-piece band, Kenton salutes his once 
trombonist, now drumm.er. Dee Barton, by 
performing 7 of Barton’s compositions. Horns 
are the keyword here, 15 of them providing a 
rich setting for Kenton’s magic. The upbeat 
“Singing Oyster” and the Latin-flavored 
“Lonely Boy” are two of the better tracks 
on an LP which should experience healthy 
sales.

GINASTERA: PIANO CONCERTO (1961)/ 
VARIACIONES CONCERTANTES — Mar- 
tins; Boston Symphony/Leinsdorf — RCA Vic- 
tor LM/LSC 3029 RE 

Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera is 
an artist of great stature in contemporary 
music, and his Piano Concerto is one of his 
most important works. Filled with startling 
rhythms, electrifying dissonances and fantas- 
tic orchestral colorations, the piece gives the 
listener many moments of excitement. Pianist 
Joao Carlos Martins and the Boston Sym- 
phony, Erich Leinsdorf conducting, turn in 
fine performances. 



HAVE YOU MET MISS JONES? — Artie 
Butler— A&M SP 3007 

Here’s a splendid set of jazz tunes per- 
formed by Artie Butler on piano and ondio- 
line. The music swings gently, and sparkles 
buoyantly throughout the album. In addition 
to the title track, the LP features “April 
Showers,” “Music For Night People,” and 
“When I’m 64.” This melodious disk is a de- 
light, and should score heavily in both jazz 
and pop circles. 



CHAVEZ; VIOLIN CONCERTO / Chavez-

Carlos Chavez here conducts the premier 
records of his Violin Concerto and his orches- 
tral transcription of a Chaconne originally 
composed for oi’gan by Dietrich Buxtehude. 
The Violin Concerto, on which Henryk Szer- 
ying is the brilliant soloist, is a beautiful 
work of great intensity. Chavez’ transcrip- 
tion of the Buxtehude Chaconne is skillful; 
the Chaconne itself is a lovely piece.

JGreen Crass Crows On Music Bow 


NASHVILLE — The combined efforts 
of Tree Publishing Company execu- 
tives and one of its top writers has 
•Ai’esulted in a new publishing company 
in Nashville, Green Grass Music, 
^which will be headed by writer Curly 
" Putman. The company which is named 
^fter Putman’s biggest hit “Green 
^ Green Grass of Home” is a joint ven- 
ture between Putman and Tree, which 
is headed by Jack Stapp and Buddy 
Killen. 

► » Putman’s success at writing major 
country hits during the past few years 
_ j^led to formation of the company. In 
addition to “Green Green Grass” 
•jjfvhich was a multi-million seller, Put- 
man also penned “My Elusive 
Dreams” with Billy Sherrill, “Dumb 
Blonde,” “Set Me Free” and “Just For 
You,” co-written with Larrv Butler. 

A Tree writer for several years, 
Putman has also served as the pro- 
^ »fessional manager of the firm. The 


success of “Green Green Grass” in the 
U.S.A. and its number one position 
in England in January of last year 
promoted the decision to launch the 
new firm. Tom Jones success with the 
song made it one of the biggest sellers 
ever to hit the United Kingdom. 

Current Putman songs listed with 
the nation’s top hits are “DIVORCE” 
recorded by Tammy Wynette, which 
Putman co-wrote with Bobby Brad- 
dock, “I Promised You The World” 
recorded by Ferlin Huskey and “I’m 
Easy To Love” recorded by Stan 
Hitchcock. The Hitchock release will 
be the first for Green Grass Music and 
is already stirring up sales activity 
after only three weeks. 

Putman, originally from Huntsville, 
Alabama joined Tree in 1964. He has 
also recorded two of his own songs, 
“My Elusive Dreams” and “Set Me 
Free.” He and his wife Bernice, have 
two boys, Gregg 11, and Troy 6. 


"Col Fetes Flatt & Scruggs At Exec Luncheon 


NEW YORK — Columbia Records re- 
cently held an executive luncheon in 
'’honor of two its most respected art- 
ists, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. 
»- *Clive J. Davis, president of CBS Rec- 
ords, presided over the luncheon. 

'*>■ Flatt & Scruggs recently completed 
a series of personal appearances rang- 
, ing from the Avalon Ballroom in San 
Francisco to a concert tour of Japan. 
An instrumental written by Earl 
^*53cruggs, “Foggy Mountain Break- 
down,” is used extensively throughout 
'-►the award-winning motion picture 
“Bonnie and Clyde” and is featured in 
^3the duo’s latest album for Columbia, 


entitled “The Story of Bonnie and 
Clyde.” 

Flatt and Scruggs’ popularity on 
the folk-rock scene can be traced to 
their LP “Changin’ Times,” which 
first introduced “Foggy Mountain 
Breakdown” and included their rendi- 
tions of such contemporary composi- 
tions as Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine 
Man” and “It Ain’t Me Babe.” 

While in New York, Flatt and 
Scruggs also appeared at an auto- 
graph session held in the record de- 
partment of A&S in Brooklyn to cele- 
brate the department store’s Country 
Music Week.

ABC Inks Pillow 

NASHVILLE — Grand Ole Opry star 
Ray Pillow has signed with ABC 
Records, announced Paul Cohen, who 
heads the labels operation here. 

During his four year stint with 
Capitol, Pillow clicked with two Top

with Jean Shepard. His other recent 
chart records include “Take Your 
Hands Off My Heart,” “Common 
Colds And Broken Hearts,” “Volks- 
wagen” and “Mr. Do-It-Yourself,” al- 
so with Jean Shepard. 

“It’s a great honor for me to work 
with Paul Cohen,” said Pillow, “and

Cohen was responsible for signing 
such all-time greats as Ernest Tubb, 
Brenda Lee, Patsy Cline and Kitty 
Wells. 


Country On Stupe 


BUD LOGAN 
AND BLUE BOYS 


, NASHVILLE ROOM, N.Y.— Ordi- 
'*'lnarily one wouldn’t pick a mid-week 
late show for review nurposes, since 
, the artists have so much going against 
them at a show of this type. For one 
thing, there’s the crowd — or the lack 
’^of crowd. And for another, most art- 
ists are pretty well worn out by the 
» >time the second sho'W comes around. 

However, we happened to catch a 
’’1:00 A.M., Wednesday evening per- 
formance by the Blue Boys at the 
Nashville Room last week and we de- 
I cided that it was a must for review. 

I • While most of the world remained 
[ ("at home pending news on the condi- 
' tion of the now late Sen. Robert Ken- 
I ^*'nedy, a crowd that was outnumbered 
by the performers (The Blu ; Boys and 
’ ' TOe Nashvilleans) was present for the 
club’s late show. Needless to say, an 


artist must be truly a pro to work to 
a near-empty house, and the Blue 
Boys measured up to the task. 

This is a strong, tight band — a band 
with a sound that makes an audience 
want to dance along. And dance they 
did, those few hardy souls. In fact, 
such was the caliber of the group’s 
professionalism that leader Bud Logan 
turned the show from an audience- 
performer situation into an all-in-to- 
gether party that was a ball. 

There was a lot of joy spread at 
that show, and a lot of joy was needed, 
the situation being what it was. One 
of the best things that can be said 
about any performance is that it was 
fun for the audience. And the Blue 
Boys 1:00 A.M. Wednesday show was 
fun for the audience. 


Bozeman To Helm New MT Promo Dept 


NASHVILLE — John Bozeman, Jr. 
has been named director of Moeller

ing Congressman” Richard Fulton 
and Columbia’s Arleen & Robbie 
Harden. He was recently designated 
by Chet Atkins to deliver Music City’s 
tribute to the late RCA Vice-Presi- 
dent and A&R executive from New 
York, Steve Sholes. 

Concerning his duties as director of 
promotion for the Moeller Talent 
Agency’s newly created department 
Bozeman outlines his objectives as 
follows: 1) to co-ordinate the promo- 
tional activities of all the artists un- 
der the Moeller roof. 2) keep the

nal and newsprint media, and book- 
ing promoters informed of all artists 
activities. 3) to work with the artists 
in helping them develop their careers 
through a wide spectrum of promo- 
tional activities and techniques.

construction on Nashville’s “Music 
Row,” Bozeman’s department will op- 
erate in the RCA Building, 806 17th

Picks o£ the Week 


WEBB PIERCE (Decca 32339) 

Stranger In A Strange, Strange City (2:00) [Tuesday BMI-Powell, Pierce] 
Looks like plenty a good deal more chart time will be logged by Webb 
Pierce, who follows up his most recent winner, “Luzianna,” with a stand 
called “Stranger In A Strange, Strange City.” The uptempo, but downhearted 
tale is in for lots of spins in short order. Flip: “In Another World” (2:42) 
[Jack O’ Diamonds BMI-Zanetis] 


BILLY WALKER (Monument 1079) 

Ramona (2:37) [Leo Feist ASCAP-Wayne, Gilbert] 

The strains of “Sundown Mary” have barely grown cold and Billy Walker 
has already launched what should be another chart winner. Updating the 
dusty old favorite “Ramona” with strings and mandolins. Walker has come 
up with a fine piece of product here. Flip: “One Inch Off The Ground” (2:32) 
[Combine BMI-Arnold] 


RED SOVINE (Starday 842) 

Loser Making Good (2:33) [Tarheel BMI-Milette] 

The redhead serves up a ditty called “Loser Making Good,” which is bound 
to be greeted by some healthy response from his many followers. Mid-tempo 
lid should soon be decorating a good many turntables. Flip: “Good Enough 
For Nothing” (2:14) [Starday BMI-Hill, Sovine] 


RUSTY DRAPER (Monument 1074) 

Buffalo Nickel (1:57) [Glaser BMI-Jarbee] 

Rusty Drapers name was revived quite a bit with “California Sunshine,” 
and may be breaking out big with “Buffalo Nickel.” An interesting lyric 
concept and an appealing pop-country production highlight the offering, 
which may catch on on a wide scale. Flip: “Make Believe I’m Him” (2:38) 
[Music City ASCAP-Balbraith, Mareno] 


DEE MULLINS (SSS Int’l 745) 

Texas Tea (2:38) [Shelby Singleton BMI-Peters] 

Dee Mullins stirred up quite a bit of noise with his tale of the “War 
Baby” and threatens to go much farther with “Texas Tea.” The rhythmic ode 
has an infectious sound that may bring home a gusher of sales for the 
songster. No flip information available at this time. 




Newcomer Picks 


GEORGE KENT (Athena 5001) 

The Baltimore Incident (2:13) [Newkey BMI-Hall] 

The Athena label bows with a strong item in the hands of George Kent. 
A smooth story line highlights the low-key “Baltimore Incident,” and the 
performance by Kent is bound to attract plenty of attention to both the 
songster and the label. Flip: “Trolling In The Sea Of Love” (2:08) [Newkey 
BMI-Newman] 


DAVID ROGERS (Columbia 44561) 

In Love With My Wife (2:56) [Moss Rose BMI-Mills] 

David Rogers has been stirring up some good noise lately and could break 
through with this unusual ballad titled “In Love With My Wife.” The tender 
romancer is a pretty thing that makes quite a change of pace from the crop 
of tunes that express just the opposite viewpoint. No flip info available. 


KIRK HANSARD (Chart 1038) 

Last Train To Nowhere (2:11) [Yonah BMI-Gibson] 

Kirk Hansard stands a strong chance of riding long and far on the “Last 
Train To Nowhere.” Enhanced with the gusto of “Cornin’ Round The Moun- 
tain,” the deck has a singalong flavor that should make it a juke box favorite. 
Flip: “Beyond The Thirteen Steps” (2:42) [East Star, Francis & Marvin BMI- 
Jay] 


BETH MOORE (Capitol 2188) 

I Will (2:34) [Central Songs BMI-Jordan] 

A fine vocal performance and a top-flight production set the stage for 
what could be a lofty chart perch for Beth Moore. Soulful quality of the 
lark’s performance on “I Will” makes for some real nice listening. Flip: “A 
Cheatin’ Good Time” (2:04) [Central Songs BMI-Moore] 


Best Bets

BOBBY HARDEN (Columbia 44543) 
The Texarkana (1:56) [Rural Hill 
ASCAP-Harden, Throckmorton] Could 
be some strong action in store with 
Bobby Harden with his latest. Good 
listening in this thumping, happy-go- 
lucky offering from Bob. Flip: “Don’t 
Drive Me” (2:39) [Da-Har BMI- 
Rhodes] 


SKELTON BROTHERS (Great 1175) 
If I Had You In A Jug (2:06) [Peach 
SESAC-R./E. Skelton] Skedaddling 
along with a clever novelty side, the 
Skelton Brothers can look forward 
to some nice airplay on “Jug.” Fun 
session may go. Flip: “Always, It’s 
You” (2:40) [Peach SESAC-R./E. 
Skelton]

IF MY HEART HAD WINDOWS— George^^ 
Jones-Musicor MS 3158 

The inclusion of a pair of George Jones re- 
cent smash singles, “If My Heart Had Win- 
dows” and “Bay It’s Not You,” make this:-1 
latest LP a sure-fire cinch to merchandise. As 
consistent as they come in the sales depart-.^i 
ment, Jones can look forward to hitting his 
usual hot sales stride with the package, which* ^ 
also includes some great tracks in “Possum 
Holler” and “Yon Angel Steps Out Of 
Heaven,” to name a few. A must for hard-core 
fans. 


BODY AND MIND— Norma Jean-RCA Victoi< ^ 
LPM/LSP 3977 

The avid Norma Jean fans are bound to be 
out in force for her newest Victor LP, sparked 
by her most recent hit, “Truck Driving^.^ 
Woman,” in addition to the title track. The 
appeal of the pretty songstress seems to grow . ^ 
stronger with each release, which indicates*'' 
that hot sales action is in store for this one. 
Among the tracks that stand out here are the' ^ 
lead-off stanza, “In The Park After Dark” and 
her version of the recent smash, “Promises, 
Promises.”

NOTHING TAKES THE PLACE OF LOV». 
ING YOU — Stonewall Jackson-Columbia CL 
2869/CS 9669 

Highly popular Stonewall Jackson comes 
across with a new album session that makes 
a fine addition to his growing Columbia cataT*' 
log. Titled after his recent chart-climbing 
single, “Nothing Takes The Place Of Loving-*''^' 
You,” the set is further enhanced by a re- 
vamping of the Jackson oldie, “Mary Don'i]U 
You Weep,” and the evergreen “Have I TokC 
You Lately That I Love You.” Album is top- 
flight Jackson material. 


ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER WORLD— ^ 
Jerry Wallace-Liberty LST 7564 

An excellent assortment of material is of-.^.,. 
fered by Jerry Wallace in his brand new 
Liberty album. Made up mostly of hit num- 
bers, some old and some more recent, the set 
also features several tracks that have been as 
big with the popcrowd as with country audiv* 
ences. Among the latter are such items as 
“Ramblin’ Rose” and “A World Of Our Own,”.^ .,| 
while the contemporary country scene is rep- 
resented “Togetherness” and “Take Me As I«. 
Am (Or (Let Me Go),” among others. 


MY SHINING HOUR/BEFORE THE NEXT 
TEADROP FALLS— Duane Dee-Capitol T/ST. . . 
2931 

An artist with a strong future in store foivr 
him, Duane Dee makes his Capitol album 
debut with a session that’s bound to 
strengthen his position with his new, but 
growing, following. In addition to his own 
recent noisemaking singles, “My Shining^’ 
Hour” and “Before The Next Teardrop Falls,” 
the artist proves his versatility with strongW ' 
renditions of such favorites as “A World Of • 
Our Own” and “Danny Boy,” as well as thei^' 
self-penned “When 'The Devil Rides The 
Wind.” 


WOMAN, WOMAN ! WHAT DOES IT TAKE*^"' 
—Jimmy Payne-Epic BN 26372 

Although Jimmy Payne has never beeir*' 
blessed with a hit single of any major proper-^ 
tions, he can certainly take credit for being 
the first to introduce several big compositions, 
most of which he also co-wrote, to the public. 
Perhaps the biggest of these was “Woman, 
Woman,” followed by country goodies the.,*;, 
likes of “What Does It Take (To Keep A 
Woman Like You 'Satisfied)?” and “Wherf» 
Has All The Love Gone?,” all of which are^ 
included in this set. Package also features thi 
songster’s latest single, “Boston.”

Right Now (2:35) [Hill & Range BMI-

I’ve Got My World Like I Want It

mid-tempo lid might be the one to do 
it for him. Easy-going lid sounds good. 
Flip: “I’m The Mail She’s Waiting 
For” (2:47) [Southtown BMI-Crysler] 


Chart Records president Slim Wil- 
liamson has announced that the label 
has decided to re-master the brand 
new Jim Nesbitt release, “Clean The 
Slate In ’68.” The deck, released only 
last week, is a spoof on the political 
scene, specifically the current presi- 
dential race, and makes reference to 
the late Sen. Robert Kennedy, who was 
a leading contender for the Democratic 
nomination until his assassination last 
week. Williamson’s decision has been 
to take the current version of the rec- 
ord off the market and re-release the 
disk without reference to the late sen- 
ator. In addition, he asks that deejays 
who may already have copies disre- 
gard these and wait for the new ver- 
sions.

The much-heralded stork finally ar- 
rived at the home of Connie Smith 
(Mrs. Jack Hawkins), but the winged 
character showed up a little bit too 
soon, it seems. Expected at the end of 
this month. Sir Stork dropped by the 
St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville on 
June 5 with a 7 lb., 11 oz. package, 
catching everyone by surprise and 
flatfooted for names. But named or 
not, the youngster is doing well, as are 
mother and dad.

The newly-formed Musictown label 
has just signed up the versatile folk- 
pop-country group the Cumberlands 
as the newest additions to the record- 
ing roster. The trio (two guys, one 
gal) will be recorded within the next 
few weeks by Musictown A&R chief 
Joe Gibson.

Managing Director of the British limb of Liberty Records, Bob Reisdorf, 
is to leave the company which he set up here nearly a year ago. He is expected 
to return to the United States in July and no successor has yet been named. 
Reisdorf, who agreed to establish Liberty here but to remain in control for 
only a limited period, is now expected to take up activities outside the record 
field. He is a Director of a Marine Construction company in Washington. 
In view of the close association of Liberty Records and United Artists in 
America, it is thought possible that the two labels will merge their British 
operations next year, but this is not confirmed. 

Notwithstanding the depression inflicted on the pre-recorded tape market 
by the introduction of a 50 per cent purchase tax, a new tape cartridge 
company called 8 Track Stereo has been formed here. Under the direction of 
Mike Price, the company will import tape players mainly from Japan and is 
expected to attack both the 4 track and 8 track markets. 

Pye Records, one of the most thrusting record companes in Britain, has 
set the date and venue for its 9th Annual (Sales Convention. Managing Director 
Louis Benjamin will host the event at the Europa Hotel on (September 6th 
and it is expected that a full complement of Pye’s sales reps and other 
personnel will attend. A large delegation of overseas licencees are also ex- 
pected to attend a special sales convention on September 5th. 

In the increasingly competitive field of stereo records. Philips Records has 
scheduled the launching of a new album series under the blanket title “Living 
Presence.” First release will be 6 LPs’ comprising works by the Wally Stott 
Chorale, the Baroque Brass, the Johnny Gray Saxophone and Quado Brass. 

Polydor Records which, under the direction of Roland Rennie, has carved 
out a significant place for itself on the British record market, goes from 
strength to strength. By virtue of deft acquisition of American catalog par- 
ticularly the label has distinguished itself in the sales charts with such names 
as Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Archie Bell, William Bell — who are cur- 
rently riding high here — and a host of others who are released on the Atlantic 
and Stax labels. To this already impressive list of successes, Rennie now adds 
the Kama Satura and Buddah labels. Released here at present by Pye Records 
the switchover is effective from September 1st and thus such successful artists 
as the Lovin’ Spoonful, the 1910 Fruitgum Company and the Lemon Pipers 
come into the Polydor orbit. But if Polydor has scored heavily with its impor- 
tations, its development of local talent has also been impressive. Apart from 
attracting the Who and the Cream to the Polydor camp, the company has 
“broken” its share of new artists. Most recent of these is Julie Driscoll and 
the Brian Auger Trinity on Poly dor’s Marmalade label. With a view to stimu- 
lating this area of activity, Rennie has appointed Peter Knight, Jr., as A&R 
Controller. He takes up his post from July 1st. Son of a top British MD, he 
joined Pye Records at 18 years of age to work in the A&R Department. He 
also became a radio producer. His experience also embraces artists manage- 
ment, music publishing and management of label affairs on an international 
basis. Says Rennie, “We are extremely happy to have secured Peter’s services. 
Though a young man he has gained a wealth of wide experience in many 
aspects of the record business.” 

The build up of RCA Records, now an independent entity in this country, 
is continuing. Graham Hayson joins the firm on July 1st as Distribution Man- 
ager of the Record Division. He will endeavor to set up the RCA distribution 
network. For the past two years Hayson has been Distribution Manager of 
Pye Records. RCA has also appointed Leslie Kettle as Administrator to the 
Artist Development Department. For the past 13 years Kettle has been profes- 
sional Manager of Frank Music (representing Frank Loesser) within the 
Chappell publishing group. Gary Osborne, son of Tony Osborne, joins Richard 
Kerr on RCA’s pop A&R staff. Having penned songs for the Seekers, Vikki 
Carr and Val Doonican, Osborne will now write for Sunbury Music, RCA’s 
publishing subsidiary. 

Songwriters Mitch Murray and Peter Callander, who started their own Intune 
publishing company in March this year and had an instant hit with “Bonnie 
And Clyde” by Georgie Fame ('CBS) have penned John Rowles follow-up on 
MCA “Hush . . . Not a Word to Mary.” The same team are responsible for 
Georgie Fame’s new CBS single “Kentucky Child” which is being issued 
worldwide except in Britain where his new release is “By The Time I Get To 
Phoenix.” Murray and Callander recently visited the States where they nego- 
tiated a short term contract with April-Blackwood for their compositions. They 
have also :figned a new writer to the Intune company. 

Alan Blaikley and Ken Howard, the songwriting duo responsible for the suc- 
cess of such artists as the Honeycombs, Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and 
Tich and the Herd, are launching a new solo singer whom they have named 
Heath Hamptsead. He makes his debut on the Fontana label with “Tenament 
Tragedy” published by Lynn Music. The disk also marks the debut of Howard 
and Blaikley as producers. “Boy,” recorded by Lulu, also looks like chart 
material. 

EMI Records, which scored briefly with the last Beatles release in a unique 
two-disk six-track package, is now to release a 7" album by the Move. This 
is not part of some adventurous new marketing plan, however, it is the only 
form in which the company can market a “live” performance by the group. 
According to EMI’s pop repertoire chief Ron White, the tapes of the per- 
formance could not be edited to an extended play disk so the decision was 
taken to innovate in the size of the album. While the company has no plans 
to make 7" albums a regular line in merchandise, if the item sells at a really 
significant rate the company is bound to consider some fruther releases in 
this field. The disk itself, “Something Else From The Move,” comprise five 
tracks and will retail at normal EP price. 

Quickies: “A Man Without Love” topping Best Selling Sheet Music Lists 
for Valley Music . . . Norrie Paramor, now a freelance producer, has formed 
Nordic Music with Noel Gay chief Richard Armitage . . . EMI held its annual 
international classical recording conference attended by delegates from Amer- 
ica, France and Germany.

Australian Record Company is pouring on a very substantial promotion 
effort on behalf of the new locally produced (CBS) single featuring Christine , , 
Roberts with two Australian songs written by Ken Taylor and Franz Conde, 
“(The Ballad Of) The Snow Goose” coupled with “You Can’t See 'Round ^ 
Comers.” The latter title is inspired by a local television show of the same 
name. Co-writer Ken Taylor is, in addition to being the personal manager of ^ 
Christine Roberts, the general manager of radio station 2GB. 

Bobby Goldsboro, who is still heading our national best-seller list with his ^ 
giant international smash “Honey,” is now represented by the album of the 
same title released on the U/A label through the Festival group in this coim- 
try. Two other single clicks that have grown into current album releases 
through Festival are “The Unicom” by the Irish Rovers and “The Dock Of 
The Bay” from Otis Redding. 

Dermot Hoy who spent quite a time as professional manager for the Castle/ 
Belinda music publishing group has now left that company to move into the';- 
newly created post of Australian Label Manager for Phonogram Recordings 
Pty. Ltd. This move, coupled with the recent signing of local artist Paul Wayne, 
indicates that Phonogram (Philips, Mercury, Fontane, etc.) have a well-planned 
campaign for entering the local recording field. Paul Turner is the General ^ 
Manager of the Phonogram set-up in this country. 

Australian aboriginal World Bantamweight Boxing Champion Lionel Rose 
is the subject of a new locally produced single that is getting strong air-play 
and sales action. The song is called “The Ballad Of Lionel Rose” and is sung ^ 
on a new Philips single by local boy Rim D. Paul. Publishing rights in the 
song are held by Castle Music. 

A concert promotion (group known as World Hosts Pty. Ltd. is staging a 
series of concerts by popular American star Wayne Newton, On the same bill 
will be Wayne’s brother Jerry, and Jackie Kahane, with muncal director 
Tommy Amato. 

Tony Geary, from the publishing house of J. Albert & Son, is drum-beating ' 
on behalf of a whole slew of hot copsrrights that the company has, including 
“If I Were A (Carpenter,” “Bring A Little Lovin’ ” (written by George Young ■ 

& Harry Vanda from the Easybeats), “A Beautiful Morning,” “Friends,” 
“Little Green Apples,” “What’s Wrong With My World,” “White Horses” and v* 
“Hello, How Are You.” 

Local group City Stompers have their debut single out on the Astor label ^ 
with “Times Like This” (local composition by Russ Dickenson & Mike Carmody) 
and “Half Past Midnight” composed by Les Emmerson from the Canadian 
group the Stacattos. City Stompers are produced by Russ Dickenson. 

Australian international star Rolf Harris is back home for a brief visit on - 
a concert tour. There is no doubt that Rolf is one of the great acts to come out ' 
of Australia. His stage work is a delight for sure, and many of our young po- 
tential stars could learn a few good professional ideas on presentation and 
pacing of an act by absorbing the work of Harris.

from his previous position as sales 
manager for Canada’s Compo Com- 
pany, Limited, where he had directed 
that company’s activities for fifteen 
years. 

Since joining Warner Bros., Rose 
has travelled extensively throughout 
Europe and the Far East, and is di- 
rectly charged with the responsibility 
for the sales and merchandising of

McWilliams, Wood 
Make Italian Visit 

MILAN — Two of the top foreign art- 
ists, with hits high on the Italian 
charts, were in the country last week. 

David McWilliams, currently oc- 
cupying the #2 slot with “Days Of 
Pearly Spencer,” released here by CBS 
Italiana, was in Italy for three days. 
He was in Milan on May 12th, where 
he was guest of honor at a gala press 
conference. He also took part in sev- 
eral radio shows and was guest star 
on one of the top TV shows. 

“Days Of Pearly Spencer” has been 
translated into Italian as “H Volto 
Della Vita,” and the Italian version, 
recorded by to Italian femme vocalist 
Caterina Caselli on CGD, is sharing 
the #2 spot with McWilliams. 

McWilliams informed us that he will 
soon be back for a long concert tour all 
over Italy, and that Caterina Caselli 
will also be on the bill. 

Second hot artist in town was Bren- 
ton Wood, enjoying a very strong suc- 
cess with “Gimme Little Sign,” the 
Double Shot Records release distrib- 
uted in Italy by Belldisc Italiana. Dur- 
ing his stay, he performed at the 
Piper Clubs in Rome and Milan, and 
did shots on two top TV shows.

ducer, Hal Winn, vp of the USA pub- 
beries Big Shot and Hot Shot Music.

Preben Uglebjerg Dies 

COPENHAGEN— Preben Uglebjerg, 
37, popular stage, screen and TV actor, 
also well known via a large number of 
recordings, was killed on the evening 
of May 31, when his car was forced off 
the road by another car. The latter 
never stopped, but continued in direc- 
tion to Copenhagen, and later also hit 
another car with three people being 
injured. 

Uglebjerg was married to ballet 
dancer Puk Schaufuss and the couple 
had a recently born son who was to 
have been baptized two days after the 
accident. 


Cershwin Star Of Venice Jazz Fest 


VENICE — George Gershwin was 
really the heart of the First Interna- 
tional Jazz Show of Venice, organized 
by the Casino and the Tourist Office of 
Venice. 

The jazz show took place on three 
nights. May 17, 18 & 19, and its suc- 
cess made it one of the top musical 
events of the year in Italy. 

With this new addition, Venice has 
become one of the most important 
centers of artistic and musical life. 
Venice already is host for a Festival 
of the Classical and Contemporary 
Music, the International Light Music 
Show (organized by Gianni Ravera) 
the largest Italian film festival and 
the Biennial Exhibition of Modern Art. 

'The conceiver and organizer of the 
show is Danilo Prandi, who has been 
gratified by the wide coverage given to 
the event in the Italian press. 

The first and second nights of the 
show were held on the stage of the 
Casino’s theater, “La Perla.” 

Performers 

Guest star of the first night was 
American soprano Irene Oliver, who 
interpreted three spirituals, “Let Us 
Break Bread Together,” “My Lord 
What A Morning” and “My Soul’s 
Been Anchored,” plus two song’s from 
Gershwin’s “Porgy & Bess,”: “My 
Man’s Gone Now” and “Summertime. 
Miss Oliver, accompanied by one of the 
top Italian jazz pianists, Arnaldo 
Graziosi, was warmly welcomed by the 
audience. 

Performer’s for the second night 
were The Modern Art Trio from Italy, 
featuring Franco D’ Andrea (piano), 


Franco Tonani (drums) and Marcella 
Melis (bass) ; the Martial Solal Trio 
from France, with Martial Solal 
(piano), Gilbert Rovere (bass) and 
Daniel Humair (drums); and the Lou 
Bennett Trio from the U.S., Lou Ben- 
nett (Hammond organ), Andre’ Con- 
covant (guitar) and Joe Navy 
(drums). 

Two big names of the US jazz world. 
Slide Hampton and Johnny Griffin, 
concluded the concert accompanied by 
a big band conducted by the Italian 
maestro, Giancarlo Gazzani. 

Hampton and Griffin devoted their 
concert entirely to George Gershwin. 

The show had its explosion in the 
third night, held at “La Fenice,” one 
of the most famous Italian operatic 
theaters, when Morton Gould, one of 
the top American conductors, took 
charge of the Orchestra La Fenice for 
four wonderful performances from the 
George Gershwin songbook: “An 
American In Paris,” “Concerta”, in F 
“Rhapsody in Blue” and a new Gould 
arrangement of the “Symphonic Suite 
from Porgy & Bess.” Gould was aided 
by Mrs. Andriana Brugnolini, one of 
the foremost Italian pianists and Ger- 
shwin interpreters. 

It is impossible to describe the great 
enthusiasm shown by the overflowing 
audience for Gould’s performance. 

At a private dinner after the show, 
Gould acknowledge his tremendous re- 
ception: “It has been a wonderful ex- 
perience and I would like to be here 
again every year for this unique event, 
which couldn’t have a better home 
than wonderful Venice.” He also paid 
tribute to Mrs. Brugnolini for her fine 
Gershwin interpretations. 


Fred & Playboys Tour 

SHREVEPORT— Paula Record’s John 
Fred and his Playboy Band have 
kicked off their worldwide tour with 
two successful engagements in Eng- 
land: the Kinemar Ball Room, Dunfer- 
line, and the Pavilion, Hemel Hemp- 
stead. Group’s next stop is Scotland 
(Com Exchange, Kelso; Regal Ball 
Room, Bonnyrigg), and then back to 


England for dates in Manchester 
(Taisted Wheel), Nelson (Imperial 
Ball Room), Warrington (the Co-Op) 
and Stoke (the Place). Other dates al- 
ready set will send the group to Scan- 
dinavia, Sweden, Denmark and Ire- 
land. Fred’s “Judy In Disguise” smash 
is still riding high on European charts. 



THAT’S GOLD AS IN GOLDSBORO— Sweetening the “Honey” pot, Canada 
delivered a gold disk to match the one earned by Bobby Goldsboro for million 
sales in the U.iS. In fact, the single has gone well over two-million. The Cana- 
dian goldie was merited when national sales climbed past the 100,000 figure. 
Plaque is here being given by Lee Armstrong, (2d from right), sales manager 
of the Apex division of Compo of Canada, to UA vp & gm Mike Lipton (2d

Under the title “Musica D’Estate” (Music Of Summer), EMI Italiana has 
started a new promotional campaign to introduce a series of 14 singles and 5 
LP’s expressly released for the summer season. The 14 singles chosen by EMI 
Italiana for their summer campaign are interpreted by A1 Bano, the Lords, 
Sacha Distel, the Small Faces, Ray Charles, Giusy Romeo, the Beach 
Boys, Lulu, Herman’s Hermits, Adama, I Nomadi, the Renegades, Cliff Richard 
and Sonia. 4 albums are devoted to the talents of Ray Charles, Lou Rawls, 
Adamo and the Beach Boys, while the fifth is a selection of the summer re- 
leases of top Italian EMI artists. 

We have been informed by RCA Italiana that the English top group Procol 
Harum have just recorded their first single in the Italian language. The two 
titles chosen for their debut in Italian are “H Tuo Diamante” and “Fortuna.” 
The decision to issue recordings in Italian by them is directly connected with 
the great popularity the group is enjoying in our country thanks to their big 
hits of “A Whiter Shade Of Pale” and “Homburg.” 

Anna Identic! is back on the record scene with her single just released for 
the summer. “A” side of the record is “Non Calpestate I Fiori.” The record is 
issued under the Ariston label, and the song is also published by Ariston. The 
song has been introduced via the TV contest “A Record For The Summer.” 

Silvye Vartan, top French songstress, is expected in Italy during the month 
of June. Silvye is enjoying great popularity on our market thanks to her present 
best seller single “Come Un Ragazzo” which is listed among the top positions 
in our charts. In Italy she will guest star different top TV shows. 

Another top RCA Italiana foreign artist will soon be back in our country. 
We refer to Sandie Shaw who, as it has been announced, will take part in the 
next International Light Music Show of Venice. This is the third time that 
Sandie will participate in this manifestation which this year celebrates its 
fourth anniversary. Recently RCA Italiana has introduced on the market her 
latest single interpreted in Italian. Titles are “Oggi” (Today) and “Londra” 
(London). 

The first Italian recording of the second prize of this year’s Eurovision 
contest, “Congratulations,” has been released by Ariston with their young 
talent Mario Guarnera. The title remains the same. The original version has 
been, of course, released by EMI Italiana some weeks ago. 

Top Italian artist Adriano Celentano has just presented on the market his 
latest single, “Una Carezza In Un Pugno” and “Azzurro.” The same composi- 
tions have been included in a new LP by him which has just been released. 
Both records have obtained, as all Celentano discs, an immediate strong re- 
action on the market. The titles of the single are published by the Cain Celen- 
tano pubbery, Edizioni Clan. At the same time, Norby Varenholz of Ariola 
Schallplatten in Germany has informed us of the big succes Adriano is ob- 
taining on the German market. At the end of April, Adriano was star guest of 
a big TV show in Munich where he introduced the latest song released for the 
German market “Eravamo In Centomila.” This song is now listed among the 
first positions in the charts of Germany and Austria. 

Another idea of the great talent of this artist is the news that he has been 
chosen by one of the biggest Italian film directors, Pietro Germi, to star in 
Germi’s latest film “Serafino” presently being shot in Rome. 

Ri.Fi Records is enjoying strong sales reaction for two of their latest re- 
leases: “Angeli Negri,” a re-edition of the famous song “Agelitos Negros,” 
interpreted by the Ri.Fi top talent Fausto Leali and the second, an original 
Italian melody entitled “Amore, Amor” performed by Iva Zanicchi.

France 


As with everything else here, the record industry is completely paralyzed 
with strikes, pickets in the pressing plants and distributors, lack of mail 
service and gasoline, etc. Musicians are on strike also and all recording ses- ■» y 
sions were cancelled. The situation is tense and record producers are full of 
anxiety. French industry is not in a very comfortable position for the opening 
of the Common Market because of the extremely heavy taxes, and important 
social reforms have created huge difficulties. 

The Common Market is, of course, the first worry of French producers who 
have to change their price policies. To compete with 10 Marks German col- 
lections. Philips (through Fontana) and Vogue just launched low-price LPs 
at the rate of 12 Francs. At the same time, Pathe Marconi, which is the 
French branch of E.M.L, released a new classic single series priced the same ^ - 
as that for varieties, 6.50 Francs. 

Publisher Gerard Tournier is delighted with the new Sylvie Vartan hit •** 
“L’Oiseau.” The very pretty RCA artist is working again, six weeks after 
her car crash. iShe fiew to London to record her next album. ^ 

A great artist added to the RCA roster: Danielle Darrieux, famous song- 
stress and movie star. Claude Gagniere, marketing manager, announced that 
independent producer Jacques Canetti will also soon join RCA. Canetti, the 
man who launched Jacques Brel, Geroges Brassens, Guy Beart and lately 
Serge Reggiani just fell out with Polydor. 

Vogue launches a new EP collection: “Disque d’or.” It presents old hits from 
Vogue’s greatest artists. Through this label, Pierre Perret just released a new 
EP. Perret recorded a treatment of Sidney Bechet’s most famous composition: 

“Les Oignons” (Vogue International Publishing). Antoine also released through 
Vogue an LP with three pages of comics. Main titles are “Bonjour Salut,” “La 
Tramontant,” and Tout Nu Devant Ta Glace.” 

;^die Barclay is back in town after a tour of France. During his trip, 
Barclay listened to more than 2,000 singers. Thirty were called together in the 
Barclay studios in Paris where they sang before 100 DJ’s, journalists, radio '' '< 
and TV producers. Eight of them were signed a day later. 

After the good success of the “Canon de Pachelbel” recorded by Michel 
Dintrich, lyrics were written and vocal group the Pop Tops present it as a 
Negro spiritual. 

Quickies: Philips released an LP with a story from TV serial “Les Chevaliers 
du del” . . . Serge Gainsbourg and Michel Simon recorded a duet: “L’Herbe 
Tendre” . . . New title for Guy Mardel through CBS, “Parceque I’on s’aime” 

Les Compagnons de la Chanson are back in town after a Israelian stay. . . . 


Germany 





With the warm months of summer now coming in and the former dead period 
in the record business ready to hit us in full strength, the industry here is 
readying for the biggest display of pop music festivals the Continent has ever 
seen. The big event in Germany is, of course, the German Pop Music Contest 
with the finals being held on July 4th in Berlin, but there is plenty of activity 
aside from this which keeps the (German stars busy. 

The first festival is the Karlsbad Festival with two stars from Germany 
participating in this behind the Iron Curtain event. The first TV program is 
sending Ariola star Rex Gildo, and Phonogram’s newest star Alexandra will 
represent the 2nd TV program. Festivals in Mallorca, Austria, France, Belgium, 
etc., will keep the next few months swinging. 

D.G.G. has done some shifting in their Polydor department with Mike Von 
Winterfeldt taking over as product manager for singles, Werner Klose ap- 
pointed product manager for LP’s, Fritz Warnke acting as Product Manager 
for low price LP’s and Klaus Egetmeyer responsible for the advertising. 

Liberty Records reports that Vic Dana, who has done his first German 
language waxing, is set for his first TV shot in Germany and will be here for 
the big “Studio B” show where he will do the star slot and sing 3 songs. Liberty 
is also flying high saleswise with a new sampler called “This Is Rock & Roll” 
featuring old goodies by Fats Domino, Eddie Cochran, Bobby Vee, Jerry Lee 
Lewis, etc. The special price is 12.80 DM ($3.20) against the regular price of 
18 DM ($4.50) for LP’s. The disc has moved 11,000 copies in the first 8 days 
of release. 

Klaus Teubig of Francis Day & Hunter writes that “Delilah” is not only 
topping the charts here but has been recorded 4 times locally as well with the 
record selling like hot cakes. 

Hans R. Beierlein of Edition Montana reports that the German team for the 
“International Song Festival” in Sopot, Poland, is set with Alexandra, Rex Gildo 
and CBS star Peter Beil. The Montana firm has set up a separate publishing 
and publishing company in Paris. Montana entered an agreement with Philips 
in Paris. The name of the company is Edition No. 7 and will be run through 
the Tutti Organization. Waldemar Kuri is in charge of the management. In 
other behind-the-iron-curtain news, Udo Jurgens has been engaged for the 
Golden Orpheus Festival on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. 

Erni Bilkenroth of Edition Marbot tells us that the Michael Polnareff number 
“Arne Caline” which was done by Peggy March under the title of “If You 
Loved Me” is getting action. The instrumental record “Soul Coaxin’ ” is also 
getting heavy play. The big tune at present for the publishing house is “If I 
Only Had Time” by John Rowles and a new German version as well. The 
U.S.A.’s Wanda Jackson also has a German hit for the publishing house on 
Capitol. 

EMI’s daughter firm Electrola has taken over the distribution of Dot Records 
in Germany. Dot has been with Deutsche Vogue for the last few seasons. The 
firm has also signed Thomas Fritsch from Polydor. 

Polydor’s Freddy Quinn became the first major western artist to do a session 
behind the Iron Curtain. Freddy’s new single “Don Diri Don” was recoi'ded in 
Prague, Chechoslovakia. 

Teldec tells us that Mantovani is set for a tour of Gennany in June. Mantovani 
will appear in the “Golden Shot” TVer on the 20th of June. July will mark the 
visit of Erich Leinsdorf. The RCA Victor maestro will get a big kickoff for 
the visit from Teldec here. 

From Switzerland comes news that the Edition Helbing headed by A. Brunner 
has formed a new record production and label. The label called “Heco” has 
signed Zurich bandleader Bert Campbell and has their first LP set called “Party 
Sounds.” The label will concentrate on the German and Swiss market as a start. 

August Seith of Chappell Music reports that the big Louis Armstrong hit 
“What A Wonderful World” has been recorded by Polydor’s top teen star 
Roy Black. This is more or less a guarantee of at least % million records sales 
and a top hit parade slot. That’s good news. 

And that’s it for this week in Germany.

Following the highly successful promotion campaign for Blue Cheer’s “Sum- 
■ ’’ mertime Blues,” the record made a tremendous jump on the charts to No. 5 this 
week. Their album “Vincebus Eruptum” also proves to be a precious item for 
**■ the Dutch rock fans (Philips). 

The record “White Horses” by Jacky is a tremendous success in England. 
> Last week the record was also released in Holland and though the television 
series w'here the song comes from is not transmitted here, the catchy melody 
^ might click here also and give Jacky a hit in Holland (Philips). 

On the President label the new Felice Taylor single was recently released 
here. “Captured By Your Love” is a jumpy tune and sounds very fashionable. 
*■ A chart tip with several radio stations already. 

The jazz-fans are very happy with a Decca re-issue, called “The Hawk In 
Holland” featuring Coleman Hawkins and the Ramblers. The fourteen tracks 
on the album were recorded in Holland in 1935 and ’37. 

•r Due to the concerts Bill Haley and His Comets did in Holland May 26th, N.V. 
Phonogram released the early Haley success “See You Later, Alligator” on 
the Brunswick label. The earlier released ‘^Rock Around The Clock” is now 
bubbling under the charts. 

In a beautiful full color sleeve, the new Rolling Stones single was released 
^ last week by N.C. Phonogram. This Decca record is called “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” 
and will be a new smash for the very popular British group. 

On Coral a fantastic Jackie Wilson album was released called “Manufacturers 
Of iSoul.” Mr. Wilson is accompanied by the Count Basie Band on this album. 
^ Also a new Jackie Wilson single was released recently called “Funky Broad- 
way.” From Deram arrived two very good records this week: “Streatham 
,y Hippodrome” by the Cuppa T. and “The Muffin Man” by the World of Oz. 

Canadian born singer Davy Jones recorded four tracks in Holland for Philips 
Records. Two of these were recently released. “Sookie, Sookie” especially could 
^ be a gigantic hit here. 

Following the success of “Do You Know The Way To San Jose,” N.V. Phono- 
gram released Dionne Warwick’s album “Windows Of The World” (Scepter). 
N.C. Phonogram also gives special promotion to “High On A Hill” by 15 year 
^old British trumpeter Nigel Hopkins (Philips). This kind of material has a 
good chance to become a hit here. 

Last week Bovema released “Times Were When” by the Cats on the Imperial 
label. Also on Imperial albums by De Chico’s, Ferenc Lakatos, Eric Krans’ 
y Dixieland Pipers, Ad van den Ho^, Frans Poptie and Max Woiski, Sr. were 
released by Frank Jansen, the Dutch repertoire man of Bovema. Bovema’s 
•y Buddah department is very active again. Mr. Theo Roos was the first in Europe 
to release “Yummy, Yummy” by the Ohio Express and “Jelly Jungle” by the 
Lemon Pipers. He also released the Captain ^efheart album “Safe As Milk.” 
^The famous French conductor Raymond Lefevre has become very popular in 
Holland. His latest Riviera album, including the European winner “La La La” 
and “The Canon of Pachelbel” is a bestseller. 

Rock is back in Europe! Mr. Joop Visser of the American repertoire ties in 
r with the rock revival by releasing a set of golden rock hits. Included are rock 
classics by Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and Johnny Otis. 

“Call Me Lightning” (Essex-Basart) by dynamic English group the Who 
entered the Dutch charts by taking the 39th spot this week. Riding high in 
»the Dutch top lists are local Impala-Basart copyrights: “Snowflakes On Am- 
sterdam,” the After Tea follow up of “We Will Be There After Tea” (31), 
“Ups And Downs” written for the Eddysons by hit/song writing team Duke 
Baker and Roddie Wahr (26), and “I See Your Face Again” by the Sandy 
Coast which song takes the 12th position now. “Black Veils Of Melancholy,” 
second hit for sensational Status Quo, settled this week for the number 19 spot. 
“Take Time To Know Her” (Basart) by tremendous soul singer Percy Sledge 
► seems to become a top 5 record. The song jumped from 18 to 9. This week 
another smash hit for Basart handled Abigail catalog: the Bee Gees latest 
“Jumbo /The Singer Sang His Song.” 

Basart Records International released Eurovision’s runner up “Congratula- 
'^tions” by the Royal Military Band, one of the best bands in this field. Other 
highlights of Basart’s Record Department include a hit of Fred Wiegman: 
“Feyenoord Krijgt Een Zoen, Ajax Kampioen” and “Jumpin’ Like A Kangaroo” 
by John Russell. Shirley Zwerus, the leading female R & B artist in Holland 
^ recorded a cover version of “Big Boss Man” (Goodman-Basart) for the Relax 
label. 

^ Dutch top formation the Cats recorded as their new single “I Like The Way” 
(Basart) and “Times Were When” (Connelly-Basart). The disc is to be released 
^this week on Imperial. 

Bospel Music got the copyrights of 2 big successes from the American hit 
parade: “Cowboys To Girls” of the Intruders, and the Young Rascals with their 
“A Beautiful Morning.” “Sind Sie Der Graf Von Luxemburg” with which the 
German singer Dorthe (Philips) reached the number one spot in her own coun- 
'T try is going to sell well in Holland. Yvonne Wijne (a newcomer) made the Dutch 
version, and Reggy van der Burgt is also going to record a Dutch version on the 
”> CNR label. “Misere” is the title with which Belgian singer Hugo Dellas is 

I going to debut at the coming Knokke Festival. Bospel Music got the exclusive 
». rights for this ballad. 

Artone has once more succeeded in launching a sure fire hit by popular duo 
^ Johnny Kraaykamp & Rijk de Gooyer. Earlier in the year the twosome was 
awarded a Gold Record for their “Bostella” reading, and during Carnival time 
they again scored with “De Fanfare” (La Banda). Currently they are making 
a big splash with the Dutch version of “La Felicidad,” which at the same time 
j has become a bestseller in the original Spanish version of Digno Garcia on 
k Palette, also released by Artone in Benelux. Both readings this week have 
appeared in the local Top Ten. Artone’s Willy Schobben, in the meantime, is 
-( racking up sales with his instrumental version of “La La La.” In the LP field 
Artone has released a second LP package by Pi Scheffer’s O.K. Wobblers 
,> entitled “It’s Charleston Time Again” presenting a selection of fourteen songs 
j from the Roaring Twenties. 

^ Following up on the current trend towards a rock ’n roll revival, Artone has 
i launched a sales drive on its complete repertoire of rock recordings including 
»,> original material by such artists as Chuck Berry (Chess), Major Lance (Epic), 
Little Richard (Specialty & Epic), and Larry Williams (Epic). New Epic re- 
i leases (LP), distributed in Benelux through Artone’s Funckler Records, in- 
*' elude packages by Lester Lanin, Bobby Vinton, the Doodletown Pipers, David 
■ Houston and the Village Stampers. Artone’s subsid Funckler further reports 
that “If I Were A Carpenter” by the Four Tops as well as their “Reach Out” 
album still are selling like hot cakes in the low lands. Since the Tops’ impres- 
sive local appearance at the Grand Gala in March, they can do no wrong. Cur- 
rent Tamla-Motown releases in Benelux: the Isley Brothers’ “Take Me In Your 
irwArms,” Marvin Gay & Tammi Terrell’s “Aint Nothing Like The Real Thing,” 
Martha Reeves & the Vandellas’ “I Promise To Wait My Love” and the 
^ Temptations’ “I Could Never Love Another.”

Miriam Makeba has been the visitor of the week in Buenos Aires after a long 
promotion campaign organized jointly by the Opera Theater (where she ap- 
peared) and Sicamericana who releases the Reprise label. Although most of her 
popularity is due to her chart-smashing “Pata-Pata,” there has been a strong 
interest towards other songs, including seme African and Brazilian themes. Be- 
sides the stage appearances, the artist has also recorded tapes for television 
and hosted a reception for the press and deejays at the Alvear Palace Hotel. 

Beatriz Lupo of Relay Publishers (who have the rights to this week’s top 
selling record “Honey” reports the list of recordings currently available or due 
in this market which include waxings by the Grupo Cinco (EMI), Ray Conniff 
(CBS), Lucio Milena (Disc Jockey), Los Walkers (Music Hall), Sandro (CBS), 
Tommy James (Groove), Barbara & Dick (RCA) and Hugo Marcel (RCA), The 
pubbery is also representing “La Bambola,” an Italian tune penned by Zam- 
brini-Migliacci-Cini, and recorded by Patty Pravo and Los Iracundos, both for 
RCA. 

CBS has released a new single by melodic chanter Chico Novarro with tunes 
“El Ultimo Acto” and “Amiga Mia” (both penned by him), a new single by top 
selling group Cuerteto Imperial, another by tango chanter Jorge Sobrel, and 
the cover of “The Legend Of Xanadu” by local group Los Naufragos. There is 
also an album by Georgie Fame, and a selection album with recordings by 
tropical music artists, along with another LP by the Cuarteto Imperial. 

RCA’s Los Gatos have been contracted for appearances in Las Vegas later 
this year. The group, currently holding the number three spot in the local 
charts and heavily menacing the upper places, will also represent this country 
at the next Rio de Janeiro Song Festival, and is currently recording songs in 
English for the countries speaking this language. They have also given a beat 
concert at the Payro Theater in Buenos Aires to SRO crowds. 

Disc Jockey’s Rosamel Araya is returning to TV, fulfilling a longtime con- 
tract with Channel 9. As in previous years, Rosamel will appear at the top 
rated “Special” program. It is worth mentioning that Rosamel is one of the 
best selling artists of this country, and one of his tunes, “Quemame Los Ojos,” 
has sold more than 600,000 copies, a fantastic amount for this market. 

Microfon’s Mario Kaminsky is working hard on the new Buddah releases, 
recently made available by his diskery in this country, including recordings by 
the Lemon Pipers and the 1910 Fruitgum Co. As we have reported before, the 
company will sell and distribute its product independently, after the termina- 
tion of its current contract with RCA.

COIN MACHINE NEWS 


EDITORIAL: Programming Amusement Games 


The practice of proper record programming for coin- 
operated phonographs has been preached and pro- 
moted at conventions, association meetings and in the 
trade magazines till many operators are blue in the face. 
It’s safe to say at this point that every intelligent operator 
keeps his eye on the new weekly releases, knows his 
individual locations’ preferences and gladly accepts re- 
quest tunes from his customers. Supporting the theory 
of conscientious record programming is that one undeni- 
able fact — the number of coins in the cash box rides side 
by side with the popularity of the music on the machine. 

These principles are directly analogous to the art of 
games programming as well. We call it an art because 
it takes quite a bit of talent and experience in this busi- 
ness to know which game to place on what location for 
maximum earnings. The obvious differences between 
record programming and amusement game selection 
and rotation are cost and size. But discounting the fact 
that it’s cheaper and easier to purchase and truck a new 
record to a location, the same axiomatic principles still 
apply — keeping an eye on all the new amusement games 
coming out of the factories, knowing your location pref- 
erences and, yes, accepting requests from these loca- 
tions for their favorites. 

While the life of a game normally exceeds that of a hit 
record, there are really very few ‘evergreen’ pieces that 
can earn money at any given location ad infinitum. Even 
pool tables, long board shuffleboards and the like must 
be replaced sometime — whether it be with a new or 
reconditioned game of the same class or something 
different. Let’s not forget that new games have one 
distinct advantage over records — they are immediately 
noticed by customers and automatically enjoy increased 
collections over their predecessors. 

Certainly to suggest that every amusement operator 
Institute a weekly game rotation system for the whole 
route is ridiculous. There’s not enough time available to 
the already busy operator and his crew to kill half the 
week lugging machines all over the place. But — the all 
too common practice of leaving a game so long that the 
location owner and the few dimes in the coin box force 
the operator to replace it is equally ridiculous. Every 
operating company must establish a game rotation sys- 
tem for this route — somewhere between the all or 
nothing methods mentioned above — something other 
than a hit and miss, trial and error procedure. 

The Ideal system is to keep a history of each game on 
the route. Take, for example, a shuffle alley. When you 
buy it, give it a “birth certificate’’ of some sort, say, an 
index card. After each collection, file the amount and 
the collection date on this card. Follow its progress at 
the first location. Before its popularity wanes, send the 
truck out with another game, take the first piece and 
move it to a different spot. Follow its earning scale close- 
ly and you’ll learn which locations do better with shuffles 
than others, which spots do well with them — provided 
you bring in a new model frequently enough and which 
have no need for them. 


Try experimenting with new game ideas. Unfortunate- 
ly, there’s nothing like a Top 100 popularity chart avail- 
able to notify operators of the real up-and-coming games 
so this “experimentation’’ is necessary. Take, for ex- 
ample, the World Cup. This was a new idea when it came 
out and although its success is coinbiz history by now, 
those operators with the foresight to latch onto a few 
right in the very beginning have made more money than 
the late-comers. Many new factories, trying to crack this 
business, come in spitting fire and enthusiasm. They’re 
really going to carve a big chunk out of the annual dollar 
output, they think. Months later they complain bitterly 
that out trade is just too stubborn to go near anything 
new. Well, certainly it’s a question of money, a question 
of the new factory’s service integrity but isn’t it also a 
bit of reluctance on our part? Let’s give every new game 
its fair chance. 

Thirdly, let’s start thinking about filling location re- 
quests. As wierd as this sounds, it just might be a good 
idea to encourage your customers to ask for a game they 
might have seen at some other spot or for the return of a 
piece that they liked last year. We remember one Bronx 
tavern had a ChiCoin Pop-Up game for several months. 
It was a new idea and it made a big hit. Lo and behold, 
another Pop-Up appeared at a bar down the street not 
long after, and this on a different route. The reason — 
the word got around via the customers and the second 
operator got the hint. Both games made money. 

The whole thing boils down to the old axiom — variety 
is the spice of life. Sure it’s hard work but if it provides 
hard currency, then it’s more than worthwhile. 


While our nation continues to shake its head in gen- 
uine astonishment at the spectre of yet another of our 
able leaders brutally struck down at the hands of a 
crazed assassin, the coin machine industry had to bear 
its own private tragedy last week with the news of Dave 
Sutherland’s accidental death. 

Like Sen. Kennedy, Dave was an active man who loved 
his work as dearly as life itself. While horseback riding 
at a Paola, Kansas stable last Sunday (June 2nd), Dave 
was thrown, suffered severe brain injuries in the fall and 
at 3:00 A.M. the following Tuesday, he died. He was 49. 

Dave qualified as a true veteran of the industry. An 
operator turned distributor, he literally blanketed much 
of the Midwest with his many Sutherland Distributing 
offices and actively ran each branch with his countless 
road trips throughout the network from his Kansas City 
headquarters. He will be sorely missed by us all. 

Many operators, factory representatives, competitive 
distributors and friends joined the Sutherland family at 
services last Thursday in the Overland Park Christian 
Church. Interment followed at the Johnson City Mem- 
orial Park. Dave is survived by his wife Doris, son David, 
Jr., Steven and William and brothers Bill and Byrd.

week, according to Thomas B. Hunger- 
ford, NAMA. executive director. 

Totally revised, the 1968 NAMA 
Directory lists some 2,200 vending and 
food service operating companies and 
branches, classified by state and city 
and indicating the products vendod 
by each company. Addresses and tele- 
phone numbers are also shown. 

“The NAMA Directory of Members 
is the only published list of vending 
operators and the firms listed account 
for an estimated 75 per cent of all 
vended sales in the United States 
today,” Hungerford said. 

In addition to the list of vending 
operators, the Directory contains sep- 
arate sections for machine manufac- 
turers and supplier companies which 
are members of the association. It 
also includes the association’s con- 
stitution and bylaws, as well as rosters 
of the board of directors, committee 
chairmen, and the staff of NAMA.

Cig Taxes Seen 
To Benefit Boots 

NEW YORK — A story in the June 
3rd issue of the Wall Street Journal 
states that criminals have found a 
racket that raises its profits with a 
tax increase. The business in question 
is cigarette bootlegging. 

The Journal reported that until just 
recently a smuggler could rent a one- 
ton panel truck, load it with 40,000 
packs, or $12,400 worth of cigarets, in 
North Carolina, which has no state 
cigaret tax. Two days later he could 
sell them in New York for $18,000 
based on a general retail price of 47 
cents a pack, at a profit of $6,400. 
Bootleggers selling at wholesale net 
something less than that figure. 

On Saturday, June 1st, New York 
State raised its per pack tax to 12 
cents from 10 cents, in addition to a 4 
cent city tax and a 2 cent sales tax, 
increasing illicit profits on the same 
$12,400 investment to $7,200 — or a 58 
per cent profit. 

Bootlegging is greatest in New 
York, with the nation’s highest cigaret 
tax, where the state says it loses $40 
million annually and the city claims a 
loss of $10 million annually in tax rev- 
enue to cigaret smugglers. Police and 
industry officials say the problem 
plagues any state with higher-than- 
average taxes. Police and industry 
leaders also say, according to the ar- 
ticle, that tougher laws would help 
reduce bootlegging. Possession of 
bootlegged cigarets is a misdemeanor 
for a first offense, with second and 
subsequent offense penalties of $250 to 
$2500 fines and a six-month to one 
year jail sentences. Civil remedies of 
$25 per bootlegged carton can be 
levied, and counterfeiting cigaret 
stamps brings additional penalties. 

iSays one law enforcement official, 
“any plan that will make the tax col- 
lectible at the source has got to make 
a difference.” 


>■ UNION, N. J. — A complete 8-ball 
tournament kit, containing all tools 
y necessary for staging such contests 
within a single location or between 
several locations has been designed 
and is being manufactured and mar- 
^ keted by United Billiards, Inc. 

The kit contains a large-sized, dur- 
able score board (see cut) and several 
pieces of literature describing the 
rules of 8-ball tournament play, in- 

► 


eluding a large poster with step by 
step procedure all lined out. According 
to United’s president Art Daddis, the 
kit is designed to enable operators to 
carry the package into one of several 
of their locations, instruct their loca- 
tion owners in the concept and there- 
after leave the conduct of the contest 
in the hands of the proprietor. The kit 
can be obtained through any United 
Billiards distributor.

University Amuse, 
Making 'Card Pool' 


“CARD POOL” 

GREENVILLE, N.C. — Ray Masten, 
president of University Amusements, 
Inc., revealed last week that his firm 
has started production on a pool table 
type amusement game called “Card- 
Pool.” The game is a regular pool 
table which has a total of 26 holes, 
all aces, kings, queens, jacks, tens, 
2 jokers and 4 deuces. Each player is 
allowed five balls which he shoots 
with a cue ball and stick attempting 
to make a poker hand by putting his 
five balls into the holes that will give 
him a higher poker hand than his op- 
ponent. “The best hand wins, there is 
no payoff and it is strictly a contest of 
skill between two players,” Masten 
said. 

According to Masten, the machine is 
32" X 62" X 32" high, weighs 150 
pounds and is made of marine hard- 
wood by experienced woodboat crafts- 
men. The playboard and rails are cov- 
ered with regular pool table cloth and 
the coin mechanism is a double dime 
slot. Masten said, “the game takes 3 


P. Q. ^^Streamlined^’ 


NEW YORK — ^A series of technical 
changes have been incorporated into 
the electrical and projection mecha- 
nism of Mondial’s ‘ Professor Quiz- 
master’ question & answer amusement 
game, according to the firm’s market- 
ing executive Dick Sarkisian, in order 
to provide operators “with the longest 
lasting, easiest-serviced quiz game on 
the market”. The major change has 
been the incorporation of a printed 
circuit, the machine’s ‘brain’, which re- 
portedly insures long life, and if neces- 
sary, easy replacement. The film reel 
itself has been modified to present less 
moving parts to the serviceman and 
easier change of question reels them- 
selves. The whole projection unit, with 
printed circuit, slides out from the 
front of the machine for complete ac- 
cessibility.

Goim Box profile on.- Bob LaValle— 


“Op’s Should Be Treated Like Dfs” 


Here are some very interesting and 
candid opinions from an extremely in- 
teresting fellow by the name of Bob 
LaValle, former Miami promotion man 
for Liberty records and present sales 
and promotion manager for the Cam- 
pus Record Distributing Corp., of 
Miami, Florida, an independent dis- 
tributing firm which is in the cor- 
porate family of Summit of Chicago, 
Universal Dist., of Philadelphia and 
Apex-Martin of New Jersey, Campus 
distributes A&M, Epic, Mercury, 
Buddah, Monument and Musicor in 
the state of Florida. 

LaValle, this week’s Cash Box Pro- 
file subject, left the cold New York 
winters and a sales position some 
three and one-half years ago for the 
warmer Miami climate and a job with 
Sunshine Records, from which he 
went to Liberty Records as a promo 
man, then on to Campus Records and 
his present position. 

Heading up the Miami-based Cam- 
pus operation is Joe Standione, a long 
time record-music man with a wealth 
of knowledge, experience and the know 
how required to use it to the best 
advantage. Another man in the Cam- 
pus complex is Ron Adams, a sales- 
man in charge of rack jobbers and 
one stops with a good working knowl- 
edge of operator music needs. Adams 
was formerly with the Handleman 
firm. 

What He Said 

“Operators should be handled the 
same way radio deejays are. They 
have to be made aware of the record 
product available — the information 
they receive on new releases is some- 
times limited and as a result of this, 
many of the operators are not pick- 
ing up on a new record when it has 
the most earning power.” 

“You ask what can be done? I can 
only tell you what we do here at 
Campus Records. We get information 
on all new releases out to the op- 
erators as soon as its available to us. 
We send out a mailing every two 
weeks to individual jukebox people — 
included in this mailing are copies of 
new releases, copies of our weekly 
charts that include information on 
what cities a particular record is 
getting good action in, and listings of 
all new record products. We also in- 
clude in the mailing a return form 
on which operators can send us sug- 
gestions and comments that might im- 
prove our service to them. In other 
words, the entire ‘thing’ is nothing 
more than an information fiow from 
us to them and back again. After an 
operator receives our material and 
information, they might go into their 
one stops and say, ‘hey, do you have 
this,’ hopefully, the one stop does 


One Stoppin' (iContinued) 

tin’ good action . . . reports from 
Nebraska indicate that one of the 
original sounds of Rock ’n Roll has 
regained a portion of it’s original pop- 
ularity. It’s Bill Haley’s “Rock Around 
The Clock” (Decca). Gene Pitney’s 
“She’s A Heartbreaker” (Musicor) is 
also getting good location play in 
Nebraska. 

South 

Miami nite spots are following up 
on both sides of Aretha Franklin’s 
“Think” and “You Send Me” (At- 
lantic) and “Reach Out” by Mind & 
Lover (Verve). . . . “People Sure Act 
Funny” by Arthur Conley (Atco) and 
“D. W. Washburn” by the Monkees 
(Colgems) are gettin’ good play in 
and around Georgia. ... New Orleans 
ops report that “I Love You” by the 
People (Capitol) and “A Man Without 
Love” by Englebert Humperdinck 
(Parrot) are both getting good play. 
. . . Down south Texas it’s “How’d 
We Get This Way” by Andy Kim 
(Steed) and “She’s Looking Good” 
by Wilson Pickett (Atlantic). 


have what the op asks for. If so, 
then our job is successful. If he does- 
n’t have it, then we hope he will get 
it for the operator, because after 
all, it’s his duty to service the op- 
erator.” 

“Do the one stops force operators 
to buy certain material ? I don’t think 
so. We discussed this issue at the 
FAMA meeting a few weekends ago, 
and I’ll tell you the same thing I 
said to them; If an operator requests 
a specific record from a one stop 
and it’s not available, then the one 
stop should make every attempt to get 
it. Many times, that particular record 
just might not be available. Now, 
I’m not telling an operator to go 
someplace where he can get the record 
and leave his one stop. ... I say 
he should try to understand that on 
occasion, a particular record simply 
isn’t available at the very moment 
an operator might request it. As a 
whole, the one stops are very co- 
operative with music operators. After 
all, why shouldn’t they be? They’re 
in the record business and operators 
buy records. So, naturally they want 
to sell the operator what he wants 
to buy. In the end, I say one stops 
make an honest attempt to give op- 
erators exactly what they want. How- 
ever, there may be a few isolated 


cases, but they are so few its not 
worth fussing about. I certainly don’t 
believe anyone is twisting anyone’s 
arm or placing a gun to anyone’s 
head. The entire issue was probably 
started because of a suggestion some 
one stop made to an operator — that 
failed to pan out. One stops have 
been serving operators for many years 
and they know pretty well what is 
good and what isn’t by now. They 
have their fingers on the pulse of 
the business and know what is going 
on. But, they make mistakes like any 
of us. The reputation of a one stop 
should not depend upon a few mis- 
takes in suggesting a potential rec- 
ord that just happened to be a big 
flop on the operator’s boxes.” 

We asked Bob for a comparison of 
the jukebox and the radio, the pro- 
motion and sales-stimulant values, 
he said, “I don’t think a jukebox 
can break a record nationally, but 
feel it plays an important role in a 
geographical area where any given 
record is not getting any air play. 
The sales figures of records to juke- 
box operators thru one stops in those 
areas greatly strengthen my argu- 
ment when I take that particular 
record into the radio pro^am di- 
rector and deejay. Many times, the 
radio will ignore those jukebox sales 


figures, but I try to impress upon 
them the importance of any kind of 
sales as proof the record is being 
listened to by the public. The juke- 
box does have a role.” 

Little LP’s 

One of the big question marks in 
this business of music programming 
for phonographs is the little LP. It 
has been talked about, kicked around, 
stepped on, promoted, demoted, criti- 
cised, praised and run up and down 
the proverbial flagpole as many times 
as ‘Old Glory’. We confronted La- 
Valle with the little LP issue and he 
responded something like: “From my 
point of view, I feel the little LP can 
be profitable to operators, if they 
would only give it a chance and pro- 
gram it on their boxes. In the past, 
I have heard people say that the li^ 
tie LP had one good tune and three 
or four pieces of garbage. Now, if 
you notice, in the last month’s Epic 
releases there was a marked improve- 
ment in the product offered, there 
were several million sellers on each 
little LP released. This seems to be 
what the operator wanted, now its 
up to us to get that information out 
to him. I remember hearing operators

Biiotta Attends Baseball Draft 
Seeking Talent For Newark Co-PUots 


NEW YORK — Johnny Biiotta was in 
New York City last Thursday for 
the free agent draft of high school 
and college baseball talent. Biiotta, 
who is chairman of the Newark-Wayne 
County Baseball Committee, is the 
man who brought professional base- 
ball to Wayne county in the form of 
the Newark Co-pilots. The Class ‘A’ 
farm team of the newest entry in 
the American League, the Seattle 



John Biiotta (left) goes over a list of 
player names already selected at the 
free agent draft with Newark Co- 
pilots’ manager Sibby Sisti (right) 
former Boston Braves star. 

Pilots, will participate in the New 
York-Pennsylvania Minor League and 
will play their home opener in Newark 
against the Auburn Twins (Minnesota 
minor league team) on June 25th, just 
three days after the league opener 
against Geneva on June 22nd. 

Biiotta revealed that former Boston 
Braves star, Sibby Sisti, will manage 
the Newark club. He further revealed 
that Seattle farm director, Art Parrot 
will conduct spring training for the 
Co-pilots. Sisti, who played with the 
old Braves for 14 years said, “my wife 
and I were in Newark over the week 
end and think its one of the finest 
little communities we’ve ever been in. 
I’m looking forward to the season 
and expect to have a winning team 


in Newark. From all indications, 
Wayne county fans are ready to give 
us their complete support and we can 
thank the energetic Mr. Biiotta for 
that.” 

Marvin Milkes, general manager of 
the Seattle Pilots, praised Biiotta for 
his all out support and cooperation 
in bringing baseball to Newark and 
said, “we’ve got a lot of hard work 
ahead of us, but with a few breaks 
and the acquisition of some good ball- 
players we should have a good New- 
ark farm team that will supply us 
with wellgroomed major league play- 
ers.” Biiotta came in to say, “that’s 
the reason we named the Newark club 
the Co-pilots, someday these Co-pilots 
will become Pilots and play in the 
major leagues.” 

By the end of the draft more than 
1,000 players were expected to be 
selected by the 20 major league teams 
plus the four new entries Montreal, 
Seattle, San Diego and Kansas City. 

Each of the 20 teams now playing 
selected one man in the first round. 
Each of the 20 Class AAA farm clubs 
selected one man and each of the 20 
Class AA teams selected one man. 
Seattle and the Newark Class A rep- 
resentatives finally got a chance to 
select in the next round. However, 
they had to follow the original 20. 
Seattle and Newark was number 22 
in this round and number 82 in the 
overall draft. 

Those players selected to date that 
will stock the Newark club are pitch- 
ers, Larry Bright, Ron Brown, Ron 
Lea, Joe Mills and Dave Tallman. 
Catcher, Nelson Staley, first baseman 
Chuck Malitz and third baseman, Lee 
Carson. 

This draft is not to be confused 
with the expansion draft to be held 
in October by which Seattle will be 
stocked with players currently on big 
league teams.

Hotel in New York City at last week’s baseball draft of high school and col-

PROFILE 

(Continued from page 73) 
say at the MOA show last year that 
the little LP was not profitable to 
program and I understand this was 
because the little LP did not offer 
the music their customers wanted to 
hear. Well, now I think the trend is 
moving towards what they were voic- 
ing, better music in the way of past 
hits offered in a neat little package 
called a little LP. Now, we have to 
make him aware of the product avail- 
able.” 

“That’s one of the little problems in 
every industry — a lack of good solid 
communications — Once an effective 
communciations system is formed, 
everyone makes money. In our case, 
the manufacturer, the distributor, 
the one stop and the operator will 
make money. Good communications 
comes in many forms. I recently got 
a call from Paul Yost down at Florida 


One Stop. Paul had a request from 
an operator for a record that he didn’t 
have. He asked if I had the record 
and fortunately I was able to get a 
few copies, I sent them right down 
to him. Now, the operator that re- 
quested the tune must have had a few 
locations that wanted it, he got the 
record and didn’t lose out on any 
extra play — he made money. That’s 
an effective communications systems 
— so you see ... it can be done.” 

We think it can be done, too. Bob, 
and commend you on your efforts to 
bridge this existing gap in the flow 
of information. Maybe, with men like 
Bob LaValle and a large number of 
others, along with national, state and 
local associations (from both sides of 
the industry) there will be a flow of 
information, to and fro, that will be 
as effective as the Bell System. That 
will be a day to celebrate!

Eastern Flashes 

KENNEDY — The tragedy of the 
Robert Kennedy murder struck many 
of the coinmen we spoke with late 
last Thursday pretty hard, evoking 
such comments as “this country s go- 
ing crazy” and “only in America. But 
as the President stated, one man, not 
200 million, performed the black deed 
and to lose faith in ourselves 'would 
be as evil as the assassination itself. 
But it’s ironical that the gun control 
legislation required the slaying of 
three of this country’s foremost lead- 
ers to get across — ironical in the re- 
spect that our pingames are still har- 
assed in many areas of this country 
and they don’t do a blessed bit of 
harm to anyone. However, such are 
the facts of life. 

SUTHERLAND— Many in the trade 
made the sad journey out to Kansas 
for the funeral of Dave Southerland 
last Thursday, to pay tribute to one 
of the finest gentlemen ever to grace 
the brief history book of this industry. 
"We hesitate to mention names of those 
of Dave’s friends who attended, for 
fear of omitting a few. Instead, let’s 
just quote Ron Gold’s fitting remark 
that Dave “was the finest gentlemen 
I’ve ever done business with.” 

FORE — Irv Morris, Suren Fesjian and 
Buckey VanWyke recently spent a fine 
weekend up at the Columbia Hotel in 
Hurleyville, N.Y.— Millie McCarthy’s 
stamping grounds. Irv tells us they 
all went out golfing with some other 
guests and later that night presented 
Suren with a fine trophy for his ex- 
ploits on the links— For Highest Score. 
Wonder why Irv was laughing? 

GONE FISHING— The Trimount lads, 
Irv Margold and Marshall Caras, took 
off on a six-day fishing trip to the 
wilds of Canada with some friends 
and customers recently, but we haven’t 
received any sports reports on who 
caught what. One thing Marshall 
caught — the first vacation in the last 
14 years. . . . Rowe’s Jim Newlander 
currently enjoying his first week in 
Europe on month long vacation. 

CONGRATS — Mr. and Mrs. Mickey 
Greenman ( Color- Sonics) had the 
especial honor of watching their son 
Lyle 'graduate Magna Cum Laude from 
C. W. Post College last Wednesday 
afternoon. Lyle, who also won the 
award for “Most Significant Contribu- 
tion to Psychology by an Undergrad- 
uate,” will be attending Adelphi Uni- 
versity in the fall on a full scholar- 
ship, courtesy of a U.S. Dept, of 
Health gTant. That’s quite an achieve- 
ment and are his parents proud. 

CIG ITEMS — Just to compound the 
already confusing cigarette picture 
in the city, there’s a movement on 
among a goodly percentage of smok- 
ers here to buy their cartons via the 
mails from a North Carolina tobacco 
distributor. The system works like 
this: A friend gives you a mailer 
directed to Weldon Cigarettes, Inc. 
of Weldon, N.C. You check off the 
brand you like (only two cartons per- 
mitted at a shot) enclose a check or 
money order for approximately $5.75 
and within a two-week period the 
smokes are returned, postage included. 
Not only are the smokes that much 
cheaper than the retail (and naturally 
the vending) price, but it all seems 
perfectly legal. Should this continue 
to grow, something must be done to 
protect the interests of the already 
burdened New York City cig merchant. 
Shouldn’t, as many have already de- 
manded, that all smokes be taxed at 
the source some way or other? 

HERE AND THERE — Expect action 
on the New York State Amusement 
within two weeks, according to Millie 
McCarthy. The bill, which has passed 


both houses of the Legislature, now 
awaits the Governor’s signature. . . . 
Mondial’s exciting Professor Quizmas- 
ter machine, now equipped with a 
streamlined electrical printed circuit, 
is a real joy on location — both service 
wise and collection wise, reports Dick 
Sarkisian. The unit is now also being 
offered on dime play. . . . Vending 
operators take note: the Florida Auto- 
matic Merchandising Council holds 
their annual meet Friday, June 14th 
at the Everglades Hotel in Miami; 
the Jersey Council holds its meeting 
at the Holiday Inn in Atlantic City 
also the 14th & 15th. The New York 
Vending Association met this past 
weekend at the Lido Beach Hotel on 
Long Island. . . . Congrats to Elmer 
Daniels, just appointed to head up 
ARA’s recreation and concessions divi- 
sion.

of current local hits with “Don’t Let 
the Stars Gets In Your Eyes” by 
Little Joe and Latinaires on Tear Drop 
label and “I’d Love To Live With You 
Again” by iDarrell McCall on Wayside, 
due honorable mention. The combine is 
owned by C. F. Lee with Mary Arre- 
dondo and Ray Doggett as managers 
and Mel Moran promotion and sales 
manager. Moran also is head of audi- 
tions and recordings for Teardrop rec- 
ords. . . . Not often mentioned is local 
operator Billy R. Allen who already 
has gone far in the business and defi- 
nitely is still going. . . . Hershel Ham- 
lin, sales representative, H. A. Franz 
& Co. (Seeburg) was personally con- 
cerned about rains of flood proportions 
that recently drenched the city. Her- 
shel owns a fine home in the Northeast 
section and too close for comfort to 
an area where 75 homes were evacu- 
ated because of high water. Hanpy to 
report that his property escaped dam- 
age. . . . Plenty of glamor (and busi- 
ness sense too) added to Allied Re- 
corded Sound, Inc. Houston office when 
little Marlene Kerr took over as chief 
receptionist. Allied Recorded Sound is 
generally regarded as the outstanding 
wholesale outlet for all types of tape 
and kindred accessories. Houston of- 
fice is managed by Alan Goldfield. . . . 
Ricky Poncio, son of Steve Poncio, 
owner United Record Distributors, 
bearing down ( ? ? ) learning the busi- 
ness since his dad, also national sales 
manager for a prominent record label, 
is away most all time. . . . Lee Loren- 
zotti, owner Pelican Vending Co., 
Galveston, in city shopping for vend- 
ing equipment and component parts. 
. . . Another out of towner evidently 
interested mainly in vending stuff was 
Joe Baine, Baine Amusement in Beau- 
mont. . . . Billy Rider, with Central 
Sales Inc. (Rowe AMI) and hobby- 
wise inclined to buy any antique from 
gold coins to beer mugs, seemed to 
have gotten right foot in wrong stir- 
run on old time player pianos. Loaded 
with the commercial type but of the 
home type, for which there is a big 
demand at slot machine profit, Billy 
has nary a one. . . . Numerous and 
reliable reports are that the “Hemis- 
Fair ’68 in San Antonio has directly 
increased profits of the coin operated 
machine industry in that city. The ex- 
position, with built in International 
and World Wide appeal, has had ex- 
tensive advertising (on all Texas ’68 
auto license plates for one). Distribu- 
tors and operators reportedly coop- 
erated in promotions. 

The H & H Music Company has 
added record departments to their 
other stores and now has complete 
record facilities in all four outlets. 
The new department manager is Harry 
McLendon, formerly the other store 
manager at Gulfgate.

office, just delighted with his six- 
month sales figure on iSeeburg Spectra 
phonos. . . . June is always a very busy 
month at Hastings Dist. Co. and, if 
the first week is any indication, this 
year will be no exception. Jack Hast- 
ings notes a big surge in over-all sales 
and exceptional action these past 
weeks on the current Rock-Ola line of 
phonographs! A welcome hand at the 
shop right now is Jim Hastings, who’s 
on vaction from college and working 
full time. Incidentally, we hear Jim’s 
golf score has improved immeasurably 
— he shot a 55 in 9 holes last Monday! 
How about that! . . . The Milwaukee 
Coin Machine Assn, held its monthly 
Board of Directors meeting last Tues- 
day with association prexy Sam Hast- 
ings presiding. . . . Talked to Joel 
Kleiman at Pioneer Sales & Services, 
where the center of excitement seems 
to be phonographs, with emphasis on 
the Rowe-AMI “Music Master” and 
“PhonoVue.” Also in big demand these 
days, according to Joel, are the cold 
drink and coffee machines. . . . John 
Jankowski of Radio Doctors tells us 
several new releases have started 
catching on with local operators. 
Among them Elvis Presley’s latest 
“Your Time Hasn’t Come Yet Baby” 
(RCA), “Already It’s Heaven” by 
David Houston (Epic), “Whiskey On 
A Sunday” by the Irish Rovers 
(Decca), “Girl Watcher” by The 
O’Kaysions (ABC) and “Mr. Sand- 
man” by Burt Kaempfert (Decca).

Mrs. Gordon Wornson, Mankato, in the

able weather we are having in the 
Twin cities, can’t blame them . . . Op- 
erator’s in the north country are look- 
ing forward to a very good tourist 
season, providing the weather starts 
warming up. . . .

MELVILLE, LONG ISLAND— The 
grand four-day 8-ball playoff, which 
climxaed in the Electrician’s Union 
Building Hall Wednesday evening 
(May 29th) with the awarding of 
V trophies and prize money, has made 
a lasting impression upon the tavern 
owners and customers involved in the 
' contest— they all want another. 

This tourney, sponsored by eight 
^ of the Island’s amusement operating 
companies and U.S. Billiards, Inc., was 
^ the first ever attempted in this area 
on this scale (an estimated 5,000 spec- 
tators witnessed all or part of the 
tourney). To say it achieved a success 
. would be an understatement. Even re- 


porters from Long Island’s two major 
dailys described it as ‘phenominal.’ 

A total of $5,000 in prizes were dis- 
persed to the 32 winners (eight in each 
division), some of which are pictured 
above. A more complete list of the 
winners ran in last week’s issue of 
Cash Box. 

Len Schneller, pioneer and master 
mover of the tournament, advised that 
the operators have more or less settled 
upon next fall for the second Long 
Island playoff. Meanwhile, Schneller 
will be hitting the trails in reply to a 
good number of other operator groups 
throughout the country who desire to 
stage a similar contest.

Triangle Under 
Corporate Changes 
Takes On New Name 

NEWARK, N. J. — Under a corporate 
restructuring plan that went into ef- 
fect last week, Triangle Industries, 
Inc., formerly known as Triangle 
Conduit & Cable Co. Inc., assumed 
the role of a parent company for sev- 
en operating subsidiaries, it was an- 
nounced by Carl S. Menger, president 
and chairman of the board. 

Triangle’s shareholders approved 
the name change and restructuring 
at the annual meeting on May 7. 

Menger said that the restructuring 
“will provide greater flexibility, more 
cohesiveness, increased efficiency and 
will free up subsidiary managements 
to do what they know best — operate 
their companies on a day-to-day basis 
in their own competitive markets.” 
He added that the restructuring will 
also allow corporate management “to 
concentrate its efforts on planning 
and development programs for the 
longer range, particularly in the areas 
of further diversification and acqui- 
sitions.” 

Menger said that both the name 
change and the restructuring was nec- 
essai'y “in view of the company’s 
growth and the variety of fields in 
which the company is now active.” 
In addition to electrical wires, cables 
and conduit, which the company still 
manufactures. Triangle Industries has 
become an important producer of 
copper tube and fittings, brass and 
bronze alloys, various plastic products, 
pre-insulated pipe products, coated 
pipings, vending machines, coin- 
operated phonographs and accessories, 
background music equipment and ac- 
cessories and bill changer equipment. 
Triangle Industries is also involved in 
an extensive mineral exploration pro- 
gram both domestically and abroad. 

The more than 100 different pro- 
duct lines, manufactured by the com- 
pny’s subsidiaries, serve such mar- 
kets as electronics, cryogenics, chem- 
icals, space, nuclear, pollution control, 
automation, desalinization and the 
consumer-oriented field. 

In addition to Triangle Conduit & 
Cable Co. Inc., the other subsidiaries 
of Triangle Industries are The Plastic 
Wire & Cable Corporation, Rowe In- 
ternational, Inc., International Pro- 
tected Metals, Inc., Triangle Explora- 
tion, Inc., Magnetic Propulsion Sys- 
tems, Inc., and Raceways, Inc. Each 
of the subsidiaries will be an inde- 
pendent profit center, each with its 
own president and other necessary 
staff officers. 


Five West Coast Op's 
Stage Wurl. Service 
School With Hicks 

LOS ANGELES, California — Five 
well-known Wurlitzer operators of the 
Los Angeles area conducted individual 
schools for their service technicians. 
Cooperating companies included Har- 
den Music of Pleasant Hill; Acme 
Vending, Tempo Sales, and Morgan 
Amusement of San Jose; and Penin- 
sula Music of Seaside. 

These Wurlitzer service schools are 
held periodically in order to bring the 
service technicians up-to-date on the 
latest improvements in servicing, in 
addition to giving them the opportuni- 
ty of availing themselves of profes- 
sional assistance in dealing with the 
variety of problems with which they, 
as servicemen, will be confronted in 
the phonograph business. 

Professional mentor of the Wur- 
litzer Company service schools is 
Leonard Hicks, field service represen- 
tative for the company’s western ter- 
ritory. Hicks spent only one day in 
each of the cities he visited. Demon- 
strations and discussions therefore 
had to be limited in both time and 
subject matter. 

Who Was There? 

The California service technicians 
who participated in the service school 
were: Dave Harden, Ross Thomas, 
Jim Harden, Vito and Joe Adragna,

FITS IN PINBALL SPACE 

Only 31 in. wide, 55 in. long, 37 in. high, WORLD CUP fits wherever a 
pinball game fits, goes where pinballs don’t go, lives longer on location 
than a pool table, earns bigger, faster money, month after month and 
year after year, than any other equipment outside of the bingo class. 


Play continues until one player scores maximum of 19 
goals or play period expires. Standard VA minute play 
time gives players an exciting work-out, stimulates 
repeat play. But play time is easily adjusted up to 5 
minutes in 'A minute intervals. Operator can tailor the 
play and profit to requirements of location, time of day, 
season or other factors. 

OPTIONAL PLAY PRICING 


Players charge opponent's goal, 
dribble back for strategic play 
and k-i-c-k to left and right! 


WORLD CUP is The Soccer Game, the 
soccer game with built-in flexibility 
which permits players to match every 
maneuver of real soccer. Straight drives. 
Forward passes. Lateral passes. Field 
goals. Corner kicks. Sometimes actually 
skull kicks! Players run in both 
directions. Kick right and left while 
running either way. Or while standing 
still. The Ya in. solid Lucite ball, white 


for maximum visibility on the green, 
brightly illuminated field, insures the 
positive impact action that keeps the 
play at a fast and thrilling pace. Small 
size of ball in relation to 3 in. tall lifelike 
players adds to the realism and quick 
response to every sudden decision of 
the contesting players. WORLD CUP is 
the world’s finest, simplest, fastest soccer 
game. WORLD CUP is soccer. 


Single deposit permits two to play in competition. 
Available for 2 Nickels per Game, 2 Dimes per Game, 
1 Quarter per Game, and coins of all nations. 


A dozen words 

are all the instructions WORLD CUP 
needs. “Player moves in direction 
handle is moved. Press handle down 
to kick.” Goalie control dial, which 
moves Goalie left and right across 
goal, is too obvious for words.

With the use of the Wurlitzer 
Americana II Phonograph, Leonard 
Hicks gave a thorough demonstration 


on the subject of Trouble Shooting. 
At the same time he emphasized the 
fact, “If the phonographs on your 
routes are not serviced properly, and 
are not able to play, they’re not 
going to pay off in profits. You’re go- 
ing to be the loser as well as your 
boss, and the location-owners.” 


At the conclusion of the last service 
school which was held in Seaside, 
the five Wurlitzer operators held a 
combined party for Leonard Hicks 
and the sixteen service technicians 
who attended the school. Cocktails 
and dinner were enjoyed at one of 
the downtown Los Angeles hotels.
